Calling Clint Eastwood and Tommy Lee Jones. Oh wait, we dont have a Shuttle. ---------------------------------------------------- “As of February 7, 2014 the fragments are expected to fall on February 16. The exact impact time and location of the fragments from the Kosmos-1220 satellite may change due to external factors,” Zolotukhin said. Uncertainty over the reentry time means that the satellite, orbiting in a high-inclination orbit, could impact nearly any point on Earths surface, including populated areas. The size and weight of the Kosmos-1220, a naval electronic surveillance satellite, remain unknown, although the Tsiklon-2 rocket it was launched on in 1980 has a maximum payload capacity of around three metric tons. en.ria.ru/russia/20140212/187469462/Defunct-Soviet-Reconnaissance-Satellite-May-Hit-Earth.html
