NASA assures surviving parts of spacecraft crashing to Earth pose 'low risk' of hitting people

NASA's Van Allen Probe A re-entered Earth's atmosphere on 11 March, nearly eight years earlier than projected. TheU.S. Space Force confirmed the 600-kilogram (1,323-pound) spacecraft burned up over the eastern Pacific Ocean at 6:37 a.

This reentry is notable because it poses a higher risk to the public than the US government typically allows. The risk of harm coming to anyone on Earth is still low, approximately 1 in 4,200, but it exceeds the government standard of a 1 in 10,000 chance of an uncontrolled reentry causing a casualty.
