A huge, dead satellite tumbling to Earth is falling slower than expected, and may now plummet
down somewhere over the United States tonight or early Saturday, despite forecasts that
it would miss North America entirely, NASA officials now say.
The 6 1/2-ton Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) was expected to fall to Earth
sometime this afternoon (Sept. 23), but changes in the school bus-size satellite's motion
may push it to early Saturday, according to NASA's latest observations of the spacecraft.
