Washington: A NASA satellite launched in 1997 to measure precipitation over the tropics will fall down soon. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite is running low on fuel and with no way to get a fresh tank up to the orbiting spacecraft, NASA engineers are content to let it gradually fall to a fiery end.

The craft will gradually come down into lower orbits until it enters earth’s atmosphere, where it is expected to burn and fall to harmless pieces. (IANS)
