NASA's Van Allen Probe A re-entered Earth's atmosphere on 11 March, nearly eight years earlier than projected. The U.S. Space Force confirmed the 600-kilogram (1,323-pound) spacecraft burned up over the eastern Pacific Ocean at 6:37 a.m. EDT, at approximately 2 degrees south latitude and 255.3 degrees east longitude.
NASA said the probability of any surviving debris causing harm to a person was approximately 1 in 4,200, or around 0.02%. No injuries or debris strikes were reported.
