The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said the risk to people from falling parts of a spacecraft that is expected to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere this month is low, putting the odds of harm to humans at approximately 1 in 2,467.
The retired Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) spacecraft is expected to come back to Earth after over 20 years from its original launch date. The Department of Defense expects the spacecraft, which is 660 pounds, to reenter the atmosphere on Wednesday night, with a 16-hour window of uncertainty.
