Patricia Reiff, director of Rice University's Space Institute, appeared on ABC's Good Morning America to comment on a nearly 6-ton satellite is gradually falling from Earth. Parts of it could crash to the surface as early as Sept. 23, NASA officials said.
The UARS -- short for Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite -- has been in orbit since the space shuttle Discovery launched it in 1991, but it's gradually coming closer and closer to the ground as it encounters friction from the upper reaches of the atmosphere.
