The tool bag is finally coming down!! The ISS Toolbag is about to become a fireball. Astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper dropped the backpack-sized kit on Nov. 18, 2008, while she was working outside the International Space Station. Eight months later, the toolbag is reentering Earth's atmosphere. Best estimates suggest a fireball over the south Pacific Ocean (35.7° S, 216.4° E) at around 1300 UT on August 3rd. Check the Simple Satellite Tracker for last-chance flybys. http://spaceweather.com/ I've been making jokes about this for months, I'm going to have to find a new subject to joke about :0) Love, Susan
