(meteorobs) O.T. Fall of a satellite



Sorry for O.T.

Bepposax, an Italian satellite launched in 1996 for X-rays studies, shall
fall around 1 May, a side of  its mass (1,400 Kg), perhaps 47%, because
its body it's build mainly with titanium can touch the ground with pieces
of 100 Kg as artificial meteorites: following its orbit it shall fall in one
of
lands or seas that are along the Equateur. The time of fall it's between 29
April and 4 May. This news came from Italian newspapers "La Stampa"
and "Corriere della Sera".
