Russia's Robotic Progress Cargo Spaceship Will Fall Within Hours

Nine days after its launch to the International Space Station went awry, Russia's robotic Progress 59 cargo ship is due to take a fiery plunge through Earth's atmosphere within hours.
Predictions from a variety of expert analysts — at places ranging from Russia's Roscosmos space agency to the U.S. Strategic Command — call for the Progress to break up in the atmosphere around 10 p.m. to midnight (02:00 to 04:00 UTC), with a margin of uncertainty that extends a couple of hours before or after that time.
"We can exclude any time after early Friday morning," the European Space Agency's Daniel Scuka said in a blog update. "There are some first indications that the likelihood for a re-entry over North America or Europe has dropped significantly."

Technically, it’s been falling since the motors shut off.

It’s all fun and games until a robotic spaceship falls on your head.

This site has its altitude going up very slowly !!?
To: George from New England
Yes...it’s in an elliptical orbit, so it’ll gain altitude during half of the orbit.
Eventually, it’ll come into contact with the atmosphere on thew lower side of the orbit. That will slow it down enough that it can’t regain altitude. Then...’dos vedanya’.

Dear Russia,
If your contraption lands on our White House, we know that it was not on purpose and we will not hold it against you.
Cheers....

SpaceLab crashed in 1979. Almost seems fitting this happening this year considering we have the black Carter in the WH.
