NASA's Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS), the space agency's largest defunct six-ton satellite the size of a bus is heading towards earth and is expected to crash within the next 24 hours, an while it is yet unknown where the space debris will fall, NASA admits the odds of Uars debris striking a person is about one in 3,200.

NASA's six-ton Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, or UARS, has been slowly tumbling from orbit since its mission ended in 2005, and is now expected to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and break apart on Friday, leaving scientists to try and find out where the debris will fall.

Nasa's six and a half ton satellite expected to hit earth on friday.

A NASA defunct six-ton satellite the size of a bus is heading towards earth and is expected to crash within the next 24 hours, but experts have no idea where it will land as its orbit is slowly decaying until gravity finally pulls it down as a fiery meteor.

A defunct NASA satellite the size of a bus is set to plunge through the Earth's atmosphere sometime this weekend, with officials still uncertain exactly where it is going to land.
