My Satellite Setup

Custom built PC
My Location
Deep in the Boonies in the central Sierra Nevada mountains of California.
Yes kids it's coming down...Sometime this week it may come down with a big splash, if your within the +43 to -43 degree latitudes of it's orbit you may be in the way.

Some say there's about a 20% chance it could hit land, I will be out watching for it as the decaying orbit and supposed time frame puts it over my location around 4 to 6 AM, and this one is big enough to see during the day when it comes down.

Hope it hits my place as I need some new hardware stuff to play with, maybe I will go out and mow a big bulls eye for it to aim at.

It can be tracked here.

Update: Predicted re-entry is now set to be around April 1 at 16:00 UTC plus or minus 16 hours. (is it a joke??)

This would put it out somewhere in the south pacific to West central US, got my bullseye mowed as I could use some excitement.

If you don't hear from me after April 1st, then Tiangong-1 has possibly landed on my roof top.
 
Now expected to hit land in under three hours.

Best put a second pair of foil underpants on.
 
Just been up on the Moors looking for it, but all we could find were Grouse (Not even Famous ones) and mud.
 
Darn....It's gonna miss me....Crud I needed some more junk for yard art....
 
Most likely drop area, South America, or part of the oceans either side, in the next hour.
 
I'm staying up till it lands!
 
WOW the tracking sites are swamped, I can hardly get onto them.

One site it's been about 5 min.
 
They say it's down, about 15 ago, in the South Atlantic, missed it again.....


It's bed time Rusty....

What a joke the news is in the UK, completely missed that.
Better go blow my boat up and have a nose in the South Atlantic.

Can't find anything online, other than it still hasn't landed?
