A lost European satellite... Why doesn't it cause a stir like a Chinese missile?.

The Earth 2 satellite was launched in 1995 and was used for remote sensing purposes. It remained operational until July 4, 2011, when its lifespan ended. The Australian commercial imaging company Hue Robotics was able to take pictures of it on February 14, when it began heading towards the Earth’s atmosphere. Estimates by the European Space Agency indicated that it would fall today, Wednesday (February 21), at 15:19 GMT. There is a possibility of error of plus or minus 19 hours.
