A 1,300-pound NASA satellite will crash back to Earth in an expected milestone that will bring to an end its 14 years of orbiting our planet.
The first of NASA's twin Van Allen Probes is expected on Tuesday, March 10, to re-enter Earth's atmosphere. While some of the spacecraft is anticipated to survive the journey, the U.S. space agency said it's unlikely any debris would pose a threat to anyone on Earth.
Between 2012 and 2019, Van Allen Probe A was among two robotic satellites designed to operate and gather scientific data within radiation belts of the same name. For years until fuel expired, the spacecraft and its twin, Van Allen Probe B, flew through the region ringed with particles trapped by Earth's magnetic field to understand more about them.
Here's what to know about the Van Allen Probes, and what NASA is saying about the first of them to re-enter Earth's atmosphere.
