Here are a couple of space shuttle re-entry audio recordings I made in 
the mid-1990s. I was using FM radio stations as scatter transmitters 
back then.

The space shuttle made a smooth ionization trail that dissipated quickly 
behind it in the high winds. I would think that this upcoming sat 
re-entry/break-up would be "messier" and make a broader ionization 
field.  ( Just speculating. )
