Ers-2 satellite returned, official confirmation awaited - Space and Astronomy. Still no reports of debris on the ground (ANSA) The European Space Agency in its latest update reports that it has not received new observations of Ers- 2 after the end of the reentry window.
"This could mean that the satellite has already returned, but we are waiting for information from our partners before we can confirm this", says ESA. The satellite was launched in April 1995, four years after its twin ERS-1, and remained in operation for 16 years, collecting a large amount of data.
