Has anyone heard about the incoming spy satelite that weighs in at 10 tons. The only part i caught was that it lost power and is supposed to crash sometime in late febuary or early march impact location unknown.

read that the time frame is correct. it will strike somewhere in N.A., but exact loc. is not known until it enters the Earth's atmos. and start burning up.

The attempted shootdown, already approved by President Bush, is seen by some as blurring the lines between defending against a weapon like a long-range missile and targeting satellites in orbit.

The three-stage Navy missile, designated the SM-3, has chalked up a high rate of success in a series of tests since 2002 — in each case targeting a short- or medium-range ballistic missile, never a satellite. A hurry-up program to adapt the missile for this anti-satellite mission was completed in a matter of weeks; Navy officials say the changes will be reversed once this satellite is down.

The government issued notices to aviators and mariners to remain clear of a section of the Pacific beginning at 10:30 p.m. EST Wednesday, indicating the first window of opportunity to launch an SM-3 missile from a Navy cruiser, the USS Lake Erie, in an effort to hit the wayward satellite.
Lets hope all goes well.
