But a Nasa spokesperson denied this assessment, telling the AFP news agency that the satellite in question was “still in orbit”.
In a statement on Monday, Nasa had said it expected most of the RHESSI spacecraft to burn up as it reentered the atmosphere.
“But some components are expected to survive reentry,” Nasa said, adding that the risk of harm to anyone on Earth was low – approximately one in 2,467.
