Amuses me when they say it was in close proximity at 'five nautical miles' - yes that is close in this situation as the chances of it being within that range are extremely low but in day-to-day terms that is still literally miles away :P

weired... Russians report that the "progress" (name of the ship) left ISS Tuesday at 22:11 (+4UTC). And stated that the ship was in a five hour controlled descent. Which means it ended up in an uncontrolled fall Wednesday at around 03:00AM Moscow time... which is in NZ time(+12UTC), 11:00AM...

 

"Airways New Zealand had been warned by Russian authorities almost two weeks ago that a satellite would be entering the earth's atmosphere sometime today between 10.30am and midday NZ time (6.30-8am WA time)."

 

match! :-)

 

Sometimes I love reporters...

 

EDIT: ops.. my bad... Moscow's time is +4UTC, not 6...
