Aeolus Satellite is going to fall on the earth when and where will end Know

Another satellite is about to fall to Earth! The Aeolus satellite of the European Space Agency (ESA) may enter the Earth’s atmosphere this week. The space agency is making every effort to destroy the satellite in a controlled manner. ESA has described it as a milestone for space flight. It is said that before this no satellite has been deorbited in a ‘assisted’ manner. Such methods are generally adopted for rocket stages, due to which they land safely in the sea.

Report According to, it is believed that tomorrow i.e. on July 28, the Aeolus satellite will re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere and will be destroyed. This 1360 kg satellite was launched in August 2018. The purpose was to study the winds blowing on the earth. This satellite is equipped with only Doppler wind lidar, which helped scientists in forecasting the weather.

during his lifetime Aeolus Satellite Observed the winds blowing on the Earth from 320 kilometers above the Earth. This mission was for 3 years. At present the fuel of this satellite has reduced considerably. This is the reason why the space agency is bringing it down.

Usually, when satellites complete their mission, they lose control and fall to Earth. In most of the cases their crashes occur in marine areas. Something similar was planned for the Aeolus satellite, but at the last moment the mission team decided to abort it in a controlled manner. This step of ESA is a big message for other countries, especially China, that it should not abandon its satellites at the last moment. They should be eliminated in a controlled manner.

Aeolus satellite is slowly descending. It will be brought down to 120 kilometers, after which it will enter the Earth’s atmosphere. The ESA team hopes that the satellite will enter over the Atlantic Ocean. However, the exact location is not yet known.
