Scientists Chase Falling Satellite to Study Atmospheric Pollution from Spacecraft Reentries
In a rare airborne mission, scientists chased ESA's Cluster Salsa satellite as it reentered Earth's atmosphere. The fiery descent revealed emissions of lithium, potassium, and aluminum—chemicals that could impact the ozone layer and climate. With satellite reentries increasing, researchers aim to improve pollution models and plan further tracking...

ESA Cluster Mission Satellite Successfully Reenters Earth After Spending 24 Years in Space
The European Space Agency (ESA) is concluding the Cluster mission, with the first of four satellites safely reentering Earth's atmosphere. This marks the end of a mission that has provided 24 years of valuable space data. In January, the satellite's orbit was adjusted to ensure its reentry would target an uninhabited area, reducing risks for humans...

Salsa Satellite Cluster Reentry to Occur On September 8, ESA Scientists Plan to Observe It Live
The European Space Agency (ESA) will witness a rare event as the first of four Cluster satellites, named "Salsa", re-enters Earth's atmosphere on September 8. This satellite, launched as part of ESA's Cluster mission, will burn up in an uncontrolled yet targeted reentry over a remote part of the South Pacific Ocean. The event presents a unique oppo...
