The European Space Agency announced that a satellite weighing about 2,294 kilograms will collide with the Earth tomorrow, Wednesday. ERS-2 was launched on April 21, 1995, and was used for remote sensing purposes.
It remained operational until July 4, 2011, when it ended. According to the space agency, most of the E RS-2 satellite will burn up upon its return to Earth's atmosphere, with some remaining fragments likely falling into the ocean. The odds of a piece of satellite falling on someone’s head are estimated at one in a billion.
