[only sometimes Mel? Must try harder
]
It has just left Brazil and shall make land-fall again over the Bay of Biscay. The next orbit (should it last that long?) is the one set to pass just north of Dover.
It is now...
108km high and travelling at 28,248 km/hr.
It's speed has not dropped much (yet), but the lower it gets the more of it will burn-up and slow down. One portion of the object is specifically designed to come down all the way.
P.S.
I have heard our atmosphere described as roughly equal to a beach-ball wrapped in cling-film...just saying is all
