ROSAT Reentry Window Narrows

ROSAT Reentry Window Narrows

The expected reentry of Germany’s ROentgen SATellite (ROSAT) has been narrowed to October 22-23 according to the German Aerospace Center (DLR).

DLR’s website notes that the time of reentry will further narrow as the date approaches, but “even one day before re-entry, the estimate will only be accurate to within plus/minus five hours.”

The German-US-UK x-ray astronomy satellite could reenter anywhere between 53 degrees North latitude and 53 degrees South latitude.
