AI Customer ServiceThe uncontrolled reentry of massive objects such as the battery pallet is fairly uncommon, and most objects that do meet their demise through Earth’s atmosphere usually burn up with no trace left behind. Space agencies commonly accept a 1-in 10,000 probability threshold for the casualty risk of a single uncontrolled reentry, according to .
The European Space Agency (ESA) Space Debris and Independent Safety Offices are monitoring the reentry of the pallet of used ISS batteries and calculating the estimates for the time and location of the reentry. The batteries, nine in total, will undergo a natural reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere between March 8 and 9, 2024.
The batteries, nine in total, will undergo a natural reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere between March 8 and 9, 2024. The total mass of the batteries is estimated to be around 2.6 metric tonnes. Most of the batteries are expected to burn up during reentry, but there is a slight possibility that some parts may reach the ground.
For the latest news, , and . On Friday, March 8, a pallet of used batteries from the International Space Station (ISS) reentered Earth’s atmosphere over the Gulf of Mexico following an unpredictable journey through orbit.
It’s not clear, however, whether the entire pallet burned up upon reentry through Earth’s atmosphere, or if some parts of it survived the heat. The European Space Agency (ESA) was also monitoring the pallet’s reentry and estimated that some parts may reach the ground but that the likelihood of a person being hit were very low.
It will not totally burn up on reentry - about half a tonne of fragments will likely hit the Earth's surface. March 7, 2024 Germany's Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief issued a map showing possible tracks of reentry for the battery pallet.
