Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Following the reports that NASA\u2019s satellite fell in Ukraine, Rob Margetta, NASA\u2019s Public Affairs Officer told Sputnik that the agency\u2019s satellite called RHESSI remains in orbit, and no other objects reentered the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are tracking a NASA satellite called RHESSI that is expected to reenter Earth\u2019s orbit tonight. However, that satellite remains in orbit at this time,\u201d Margetta said.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Wednesday, the head of the Kiev city military administration, Serhiy Popko, said that the flash in the sky over Kiev was the result of a NASA space satellite falling to Earth.<\/p>\n

A bright flash of unknown origin was seen in the sky late Wednesday over Kiev and the region, local media reported explosions in the sky, and published a video of the fall of a luminous object.<\/p>\n

A few minutes after reports of \u201cUFOs\u201d, an air raid alert was declared in the region. Ukraine presidential adviser Andriy Yermak said that the mysterious flash in the sky over Kiev was the result of the work of Ukrainian air defense, but soon deleted the message.<\/p>\n

The agency, in a statement, said that NASA\u2019s retired Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) spacecraft is predicted by the Department of Defense to reenter Earth\u2019s atmosphere at approximately 8:50 p.<\/p>\n

m. EDT on Wednesday, April 19 with an uncertainty of plus or minus an hour. \u201cNASA expects most of the spacecraft to burn up as it travels through the atmosphere, but some components are expected to survive reentry,\u201d the agency said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe risk of harm coming to anyone on Earth is low \u2013 approximately 1 in 2,467. NASA and DoD will continue to monitor reentry and update predictions. \u201d<\/p>\n

NASA concluded by saying that from 2002 to its decommissioning in 2018, RHESSI helped NASA understand the basic physics of particle acceleration and explosive energy release in solar flares.<\/p>\n
