Technical comments on the U.S. satellite shootdown http://www.thebulletin.org/web-edition/features/technical-comments-the-us-satellite-shootdown
By Yousaf Butt | 21 August 2008 Article Highlights A NASA study on the survivability of USA-193's hydrazine fuel tank used an oversimplified model, leading to an overly optimistic assessment of the tank's survival. But even this study showed how the tank would have burned up when reentering the atmosphere. Therefore, Washington's contention that the tank would have hit the ground intact, posing a health hazard, seems questionable. http://www.thebulletin.org/web-edition/features/technical-comments-the-us-satellite-shootdown _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
