Right about now, Cluster's Salsa satellite is taking the plunge into Earth's atmosphere. Farewell, Salsa! Thank you for your service!🫡

The exact moment on Friday when the @ESA_Cluster operations team recovered Salsa for one final orbit after its searing hot final perigee knocked the spacecraft into survival mode. That final orbit comes to an end in just ~90 minutes. 👏🥲

Salsa will soon be taking a plunge into Earth's atmosphere ☁️🛰️ Not much of the 550 kg satellite will survive the reentry. If small parts do survive, they will make a splashdown in a remote area of the Pacific Ocean. For updates see our blog 👉 blogs.esa.int/rocketscience/
