Old NASA satellite falling

Los Angeles Times: Be aware, a 6.25-ton dead satellite could be falling in your vicinity any day

UARS Update:
NASA's Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, or UARS, is expected to re-enter Earth's atmosphere in late September or early October 2011, almost six years after the end of a productive scientific life. Although the spacecraft will break into pieces during re-entry, not all of it will burn up in the atmosphere.
