Satellite To Hit Earth

A huge solar storm begun pummeling Earth on Friday, bringing possible disruptions to satellites and power grids -- and stunning auroras -- as it intensifies.

The April 30 flare clocked in at M9.53, according to spaceweatherlive.com, measured by NASA's GOES-16 satellite, which puts it just a fraction below the most powerful X-class solar flare.

A potent solar flare eruption is expected to result in intense auroras, as a potential 'cannibal CME' is propelled towards Earth.

A geomarnetic storm, or solar storm, is headed towards Earth and is predicted to hit the planet today. It has been classified as G1, which means it is mild, the geomagnetic storm is unlikely to cause any damage to life on Earth. However, it can still affect power grids and impact some satellite functions such as those used for GPS systems and mobil...

The Indian Space Research Organisation or ISRO hit another milestone today of launching over 300 foreign satellites. The latest being the indigenous CARTOSAT-3 satellite and 13 other nano satellites from the US. The launch of 14 new satellites took place today at 9:28 am from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh's Sriharikota. Heavy-lift ro...

India will boldly go to Venus for the first time and re-visit the Red Planet very soon. Buried and hidden in the hundreds of pages of the new-format electronic budget documents, is the first formal acknowledgement by the government about these two new bold inter-planetary sojourns to Earth's immediate neighbours. This uplifting news comes ahead of ...

A Russian Proton rocket carrying a European-built satellite fell back to Earth on Friday shortly after liftoff in the latest accident to hit the country's once-proud space industry.

The European Space Agency says that one of its research satellites that ran out of fuel will most likely crash to Earth into the ocean or polar regions.

A solar 'mega storm', expected to hit Earth in the near future, could knock out the planet's communication satellites, cause power cuts and disrupt crucial navigation aids and aircraft avionics, experts have warned.

Scientists were trying to establish how and where a defunct German research satellite returned to the Earth on Sunday, after warning that some parts might survive re-entry and crash at up to 280 mph (450 kph).

A defunct satellite hurtled toward the atmosphere and pieces of it were expected crash to the Earth within hours, the German Aerospace Centre said early on Sunday.

NASA's dead six-ton satellite fell to Earth early Saturday morning, starting its fiery death plunge somewhere over the vast Pacific Ocean.

A six-ton NASA satellite that is on course to crash back to Earth on Friday is not expected to hit North America, the US space agency said in its latest update.

NASA scientists are doing their best to tell us where a plummeting six-ton satellite will fall later this week. It's just that if they're off a little bit, it could mean the difference between hitting Florida or landing on New York. Or, say, Iran or India.
