Tiangong 1 is due to re-enter the atmosphere sometime tonight, totally out of control ..... luckily nowhere near the UK ...
Info here ...

It's altitude is increasing :-\

It's altitude is increasing :-\
perigee v apogee .. its orbit is an elipse NOT a circle ..
at the moment its getting further away but when it next "swings in" it will be lower than the last time and be even more affected by the atmosphere .....

I hear it is likely to completely wipe out Barnsley.
A terrible loss to the UK. :)

Yes, of course.

Gotta stop staring at that, I'll miss Top Gear. ;D

Now (19:45 BST) just south of South Africa, altitude 145 Km (decreasing) .. check back in about 2 hours and see the difference .... :)

According to the chap at the top, Joseph Remis, it could be down as early as quarter past nine.
-
Lowest altitude (perigee) that orbit 140.6 Km :) which was 2.3 Km lower than the previous orbit ....
-
Highest altitude (apogee) that orbit 147.8 Km .. previously 151.3 Km .... :)

Nice to know that we, (the human race), are slinging stuff up there with no real idea when or where it,s gonna land. ::)

Still doesn,t alter the fact though does it? ???

Well, it's down. I didn't feel a thing. :)

Apparently a new type is being sent up to the space station for testing/experimenting which is designed to whizz about collecting the space junk that's floating about up there.

The earth didn't move for me last night either ;D

All that should be necessary is to somehow reduce the orbital speed and let these things burn up in the atmosphere on re-entry, assuming most would not reach the surface in dangerous sized pieces.
Could you get insurance, I wonder? :D

Beats British efficiency - I have something on its way from China. Its taken ArseholeForce a week for their plane to get from China to Coventry (never knew a plane could stay up for a week), and then been held up in customs for ages.

They're waiting for you to get a little more desperate.. So you don't baulk at their "handling charge". ::)

Its Arsehole Force, so will be £12 handling, plus whatever HRMC decide (which will be VAT and 2.5% import I suspect). tinkers.

I just paid the import duty on some bits from Shell Valley Roadsters in the US. £177.. not sure what I get for that £177; Mr P Hammond's undying love, maybe?
