I would like to alert observers who practice forward scatter radio methods in the far west United States and Canada that the Stardust space capsule will be re-entering Earth's atmosphere January 15, 2006 between 1:56 and 1:59 a.m. PST, ( 0956 and 0959 UT ) It will make a very dynamic radio event.
I posted some information gleaned from www.spaceweather.com here:

I would be interested in anyone's observations and especially audio recordings or spectrographs. Over the years I have captured some space shuttle re-entries and feel there is a lot of Science that can be produced in this sort of experiment and observation.
Also : Hear a couple of re-entry audio specimens on the page listed above.
