Satellite to hit SA?Fri, 23 Sep 2011 12:36

A five-ton research satellite which is due to crash into earth over the next 24 hours, could possibly hit South Africa.

The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite was launched in 1991 and US space agency Nasa estimated that it would break up into 26 pieces which would scatter over a 500 kilometre radius.

Some of the heaviest parts could weigh up to 150 kilograms falling over 300 kilometres per hour.

However, Nasa said the risk of being hit is minimal.

Wits Planetarium's Claire Flanagan said it was difficult to tell exactly when and where the pieces would crash.

"They don't have any control over this satellite. There are a whole bunch of people watching it as it nears earth," she said.
