Unauthorized hacking (i.e., gaining access to computer systems without prior authorization from the owner) is a crime in most countries, but penetration t
A defunct German research satellite plummeted to earth at speeds of up to 280mph last night and crashed somewhere in Southeast Asia, a scientist said, but its exact whereabouts remain a mystery. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, said two Chinese cities with millions of inhabitants each, Chongqing and Chengdu, had been in the minivan
Berlin: Scientists were trying to establish how and where a defunct German research satellite returned to the Earth on Sunday, after warning that some parts might survive re-entry and crash at up to 280 mph (450 kph). There was no immediate solid evidence to determine above which continent or country the ROSAT scientific research satellite entered the atmosphere, said Andreas Schuetz, spokesman for the German Aerospace Centre. Most parts of the minivan-sized satellite were expected

He also revealed that black money was started depositing in Swiss Banks in early 70s by some of the names of India through illegal mining, stock market, drug dealing, fake projects etc. According to the pic: Though Wikileaks ha
It's déjà vu all over again, as Yogi Berra might have put it. This month, another defunct satellite is expected to plunge to Earth — offering us another welcome respite from worrying about our real problems. Instead, we can worry about the fantastically slim odds of being killed by some of the debris that will be shed by Germany's ROentgen SATellite (ROSAT) X-Ray telescope on its fiery uncontrolled re-entry to Earth just before Halloween. "It will not be possible to make any kind of
During its mission, the ROentgen SATellite (ROSAT) performed its observations in an elliptical orbit at distances of between 585 and 565 kilometres above the surface of the Earth. Since its decommissioning, atmospheric drag has caused the satellite to lose altitude. In June 2011, it was at a distance of only about 327 kilometres above the ground. Due to the fact that ROSAT does not have a propuls
Germany's defunct ROSAT satellite will fall back to Earth some time this week, but German space officials say the fall site is still a mystery. Re-entry is expected between Friday and Oct. 24. "The time and location of re-entry cannot be predicted precisely," the German Aerospace Center (DLR) stated. It also noted that re-entry can be calculated only to within two days but certainty will grow as

In late October or early November a Germany astronomy satellite – called ROSAT- will plunge uncontrolled back to Earth. Earth has been told to brace for a possible satellite collision as an orbiting telescope weighing nearly three tons has spun out of control and is plummeting homewards. ROSAT, a German X-ray telescope built with British and American technology, has been orbiting the Earth since 1990 and has provided invaluable data on stars. But they lost contact with it in 1999.
A German-American-British X-ray and ultraviolet astronomy satellite, named for Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) who discovered X-rays; it operated for almost nine years. The first six months of the mission were dedicated to an all-sky survey in X-rays (0.1–2.5 keV) and ultraviolet (62–206 eV) using an imaging telescope with a sensitivity about 1,000 times greater than that achievable with the instrume
