Astronomers Ma'rufin Sudibyo, Wednesday (28/12/2011), said Russia-China satellite that failed to go to Mars because it's stuck in Earth orbit, would fall back to Earth in January 12, 2012 + / - 5.5 days. "And we in Indonesia are projected trajectory of the satellite during that period," said Ma'rufin.
However, it does not necessarily make it a potentially large satellites crashed in Indonesia. Ma'rufin explained, the potential fall of the Phobos-Grunt in a small land.
"The probability of falls in global land mass is actually quite small, perhaps 1: 1000 or more. For mainland Indonesia is also still quite small," explains Ma'rufin in a posting on his Facebook account.
Although the potential for a small fall, Ma'rufin invite the community to be vigilant, in the sense continue to monitor the movement of the broken satellite. Phobos-Grunt biusa movement followed on the website and the National Aeronautics Space Agency (Lapan) http://foss.dirgantara-lapan.or.id/orbit/.
Ma'rufin explains, there are some things that need to be made public if the satellite is damaged it will indeed fall in Indonesia. First, do not touch the satellite debris or objects that dikenainya. Secondly, if the house becomes the victim, then check out the damage and immediately report it to Lapan to be followed up. Lapan be reported to the Russian space agency Roscosmos order to obtain redress.
Deputy Science, Assessment, and Aerospace Information Lapan, Thomas Djamaluddin mengatkan that the current height of Phobos-Grunt is 189 x 250 km. That is, the closest distance is 189 km while the furthest distance of 250 km. In height, no one has been able to predict the exact location and time of the fall of the satellite. So, stay alert, but do not be consumed hoax.
Phobos-Grunt Phobos planned for in 2012 and returned to Earth in 2014. This spacecraft will perform soil sampling and rock and bring samples of bacteria, plants and invertebrates. hobos are mission-cost Rp 1.5 trillion, which unfortunately have failed.
