Berlín,4 May (Prensa Latina) The European Space Agency,ESA, announced today that Russian Progress M-27M spacecraft will renter our atmosphere next Saturday May 9. In its blog ESA says that iti is already in close contact with its Russian and US counterparts and added that to the forecast date it has a mistake magin of of more or lest 2 days and that more specific information was going to be given soon. Progress M-27M cargo spacecraft originally intended to deliver food, fuel and supplies to the International Space Station is headed for an uncontrolled, untargeted re-entry after experiencing a failure early in its flight from which recovery was not possibly. Starting out in a Low Earth Orbit, the 7,289-Kilogram spacecraft is slowly approaching the atmosphere and will experience re-entry in the first half of May. Rentry prediction is always associated with a window of uncertainty given the unknowns. Many media outlets will give the re-entry time and even locations as absolute values, but the truth is that when re-entry is still several days away, the error bar on any prediction can be 24 hours in either direction or more. Even on the day of re-entry, calculations can only narrow down the approximate time and location to within about one orbit of Earth so that areas of risk can be identified and other areas can be excluded, nevertheless risks are considered extremely small.

According to the forecast, the object's reentry will occur in Saturday, 09 May 2015 at 10:55 UTC, above the coordinates shown on map.
