More than a ton of advanced electronics, including an ion engine and sensors that help detect variations in gravity, crashed into Earth’s atmosphere Sunday night, when the European GOCE satellite ended its four-year mission. Most of the 2,425-pound craft disintegrated when it reentered the atmosphere over the South Atlantic Ocean; about 25 percent did not.

The European Space Agency says that GOCE — the Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer — experienced “atmospheric interface” at 7:16 p.m. ET Sunday. The satellite reentered Earth’s atmosphere less than 300 nautical miles south of the Falkland Islands, the agency said, citing data that was confirmed by NASA.

“While most of the 1100 kg satellite disintegrated in the atmosphere, an estimated 25 percent reached Earth’s surface,” the agency says.

GOCE ran out of fuel last month, beginning a countdown to its eventual destruction. It continued sending data to ESA through its final days and hours, yielding its observations about ocean currents as well as air density and wind speeds in the upper atmosphere.

“The central computer temperature is at 80ºC [176 degrees Fahrenheit] and the battery is at 84ºC,” ESA reported less than two hours from the craft’s destruction. “At an altitude of less than 120 km, the spacecraft is – against expectations – still functional.”

Because its orbit crossed Earth’s poles, scientists were uncertain of where GOCE would come down, as NPR reported Saturday. That uncertainty lasted into the final hours of the satellite’s reentry — an update from ESA on Sunday stated, “The most probable reentry area lies on a descending orbit pass that mainly runs across the Pacific and the Indian Oceans.”

The final track of its orbit took GOCE over Siberia, parts of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and Antarctica. Its reentry occurred east-southeast of the tip of South America.

“As expected, the satellite disintegrated in the high atmosphere and no damage to property has been reported,” ESA said Monday.

The satellite was nicknamed a “space Ferrari” due to its sleek and aerodynamic shape, meant to help it maintain a stable orbit at very low altitude. It relied on a steady stream of thrust from an electric ion engine to compensate for any drag it encountered.

And in a bit of serendipity, as we looked around for an object to put the satellite’s weight of 2,425 pounds into perspective, we found a story from last year predicting that an actual Ferrari was being built that might weigh For further comparison, Smart’s ForTwo model weighs around 1,800 pounds.

One of GOCE’s lasting achievements will likely be the mapping of a new “geoid,” showing deviations in the Earth’s surface. The European agency explains why that’s important:

“A precise model of Earth’s geoid is crucial for deriving accurate measurements of ocean circulation, sea-level change and terrestrial ice dynamics. The geoid is also used as a reference surface from which to map the topographical features on the planet. In addition, a better understanding of variations in the gravity field will lead to a deeper understanding of Earth’s interior, such as the physics and dynamics associated with volcanic activity and earthquakes.”

As for its uncontrolled descent, European officials had downplayed concerns raised by people who were alarmed by the thought of a car-sized orbiter crashing to Earth at random.

“Statistically speaking, it is 250,000 times more probable to win the jackpot in the German Lotto than to get hit by a GOCE fragment,” according to the head of ESA’s Space Debris Office, Heiner Klinkrad.

“The one-ton GOCE satellite is only a small fraction of the 100–150 tonnes of man-made space objects that reenter Earth’s atmosphere annually,” Klinkrad says. “In the 56 years of spaceflight, some 15,000 tons of man-made space objects have reentered the atmosphere without causing a single human injury to date.”

FAA: UPS jet crashes in Birmingham, Ala.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — A large UPS cargo plane crashed early Wednesday near an airport in Birmingham, Ala.

Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen told The Associated Press the A300 plane crashed on approach to the airport before dawn.

The plane was en route from Louisville, Ky., to Birmingham as UPS Flight 1354, Bergen said.

Toni Bast, a spokeswoman for Birmingham’s airport authority, said the cargo plane crashed near Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport. Bast said the crash site is outside the airport’s perimeter fence and has not affected airport operations.

Neither Bergen nor Bast had any information on injuries.

A photo from the news site al.com showed a plume of smoke rising from the site in an open field. Several fire trucks and other emergency vehicles were lined up on a narrow road nearby.

Representatives for Atlanta-based UPS could not immediately be reached Wednesday morning.

3 Dead When Bus Carrying Teens Crashes in Indiana

A bus carrying teenagers returning to Indiana from a church camp in Michigan crashed Saturday afternoon just minutes from home, killing three people and sending 26 others to hospitals, officials said.

The bus came speeding off of Interstate 465 in northern Indianapolis, about a mile from the Colonial Hills Baptist Church that passengers attended, struck a retaining wall as it rounded a curve and overturned. The campers were returning from Camp CoBeAc in northern Michigan, about six hours away.

The church’s youth pastor had sent a tweet a couple of hours before the crash saying the group was expected to arrive at the church about 4:15 p.m., around the time the accident happened.

“They were not that far from home. That only adds to the tragedy,” said Indianapolis Public Safety Director Troy Riggs.

The dead included a man and his wife, Riggs said. Authorities did not provide information about the third victim.

Riggs and Mayor Greg Ballard visited the crash scene, where clothing, pillows and seat cushions from the bus were scattered along with at least two shattered windows, before they headed to the church. Riggs said there was no indication that the driver had a medical emergency and called the accident “a great tragedy.”

Ballard said investigators were taking measurements and examining the bus to determine the cause of the crash.

WTHR-TV reported the bus driver told witnesses his brakes failed. Indianapolis Fire Department Lt. Ato McTush said police and fire officials had not determined whether the church-owned bus, which was carrying 37 passengers plus the driver, had mechanical issues.

Duane Lloyd told WTHR that he heard a loud noise behind him as he was traveling near the intersection and saw the crash around 4:15 p.m.

“I heard a skid. I looked back. I see this bus in the air and people falling out of the bus,” Lloyd said. “I could have gone my whole life without seeing that.”

Karen Woodard, a member of Colonial Hills Baptist Church, cried as she stared at the wrecked bus.

“It’s so terrible. I can’t believe it,” she said.

Indianapolis Fire Department said crews had to free five people who were trapped inside after the crash. Several people stopped to help before first responders could arrive, including one man who helped pull the driver out of the bus, the department said.

“People were stopping their cars. People were literally trying to lift the bus,” Lloyd said. “You just try to do what you can do.”

Fire officials said the injured included children and adults.

Nine teenagers were taken to IU Health Methodist Hospital, including one in critical condition. Three of those were treated and released, hospital spokeswoman Sally Winter said. She said 10 others, including nine teenagers and a toddler, were taken to Riley Hospital for Children. Seven of those teenagers were treated and released, Winter said.

Many of the patients were suffering head, arm and leg injuries, fire officials said.

Roads near the scene were closed, and authorities urged people to use caution in the area. A hazardous materials crew was cleaning up diesel fuel that spilled in the crash.

Outside the church, a yellow school bus with the church school’s name was parked outside with piles of sleeping bags and suitcases nearby. Families hugged outside and talked quietly before going inside, where they met with Ballard and Riggs Saturday evening.

Ballard described the families as “remarkably positive” despite their sorrow.

“Some of the teenagers are hurting pretty bad and you can see that in their faces,” he said.

Church member Jeff Leffew, 44, of Fishers, who had three daughters on the bus that crashed and a fourth on a second bus, said he was waiting to pick them up in the church parking lot when the second bus arrived. He said he knew immediately that something was wrong because the kids on the bus were screaming.

He went to the crash scene and found his three daughters with only bumps and bruises.

He called the crash scene “surreal.”

“You’re just praying that it’s not as bad as it looks,” he said.
