The uninvited guest, known as the goce--"Gravity and steady-state oceanic circulation probe", was launched into space by the European Space Agency in 2009 and has now been orbiting for 4 years, with satellite fuel depleted on October 21.
European scientists want the GOCE satellite to scan the Earth in detail, drawing a map of the gravitational field. It was launched in 2009 at the Cape Springs launch site, carried by the whistling rocket, and cost 470 million dollars.
Although the specific landing point is unknown, scientists have pointed out that the GOCE debris is unlikely to hit the human. Data show that about 40 tonnes of man-made space debris fall to the ground or ocean every year.
