A weather satellite that was considered the 'grandfather' of Europe burned up in space


Paris, February 23, 2024, Friday

Europe's 'grandfather' satellite that provides weather information including ocean temperatures and ice caps has burned up in space. The satellite called ERS-2 weighed about 2 tons. According to the European Space Agency, ERS-2 was launched in the 90s. His job was to explore the atmosphere, land and oceans.

However, since no one saw the satellite debris fall down, it is believed to have burned up in mid-air. The satellite was out of fuel and the battery was completely discharged. ERS 2 was withdrawn in 2011. Initially, the height of this satellite was 780 km in space, after which scientists reduced the height to 570 km.

Experts had already expressed doubts that the satellite would come down to Earth uncontrollably. The satellite ended up in the North Pacific Ocean, about 2,000 km from California, between western Alaska and Hawaii. This satellite of ESE was known as the granddaddy of Earth observation in Europe.

The Raute people live in temporary houses covered with cloth over wood. However, since they live completely cut off from the rest of the world, it becomes difficult to find their abode. The men of the Raute community are adept at hunting monkeys. Once they have followed a monkey, they do not return without hunting. The Raute people sit around a fire at night in winter. What is new is that they consider it a sin to grow seeds in the soil, so instead of farming, they use the grains found naturally in the forest as food. Every day women and children bring grain bearing plants and extract grains from them. They also eat fruits and vegetables that grow naturally. This nomadic species does no
