Spent Soviet satellite “Molniya-1-44” began to accelerate its decline and, on October 19, he can fall to the Ground, reports “Interfax” reports Rus.Media.

Experts suggest that on 19 October unburned in the dense layers of the atmosphere the satellite debris can reach the Earth’s surface.

Previously it was assumed that this could happen first, 28 Oct.

The satellite “Molniya-1-44” launched from the Plesetsk cosmodrome using rocket “Lightning” July 31, 1979.

He worked on a highly elliptical orbit. The mass of the satellite is 1500 pounds.
