NASA satellite fell to Earth, no injuries
NASA’s dead 6.3-ton satellite fell to earth earlier on Saturday, however the exact place is still unidentified. NASA said that the satellite was supposed to be orbiting over Canada, Africa, the Pacific, the Atlantic and the Indian oceans.

The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite is the size of a small bus, but only 20 parts, weighing between 1 and 158 kgs were expected to fall after it penetrated the atmosphere.

These parts are also supposed to be scattered over 750 kilometers, according to NASA. ً NASA experts sought to calm the world by reassuring that the danger posed on lives is minimal, adding that there’s a slight possibility that parts of the satellite will injure people lives and cause material damages. 

The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite is NASA’s biggest spacecraft to crash back to Earth, uncontrolled since the post-Apollo 90-ton Skylab space station both in 1975.
