One-tonne Satellite falling To Earth by Phems(m): 12:43pm On Nov 09, 2013
A one-tonne satellite is falling out of control and is likely to crash into the Earth sometime during the weekend, scientists have warned.

The Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation
Explorer was launched in March 2009, to study changes
