Russian Satellite Express$mdash;AM4 To Crash Into Pacific Ocean On Purpose (Huffington post)

WASHINGTON — The Russian government will guide the large Express-AM4
telecommunications satellite, which was launched into a useless orbit in
August, into a controlled atmospheric descent starting March 20 so that any
surviving pieces will land in the Pacific Ocean, a senior official from
Russia’s state-owned satellite telecommunications operator said March 15.
The 5,800-kilogram satellite has been stuck in a too-low orbit following the
failure of the Breeze M upper stage of the Russian Proton rocket.
Dennis Pivnyuk, chief financial officer of the Russian Satellite
Communications Co. (RSCC), which had planned to operate Express-AM4 for 15
years as part of its expansive development plan, said Russian authorities had
considered and rejected multiple salvage scenarios for the satellite.
“We have decided to splash it between March 20 and March 26,” Pivnyuk said
here during the Satellite 2012 conference. “While the satellite was not
damaged, it has spent seven months in an orbit that exposes it to radiation
that has left it in not good shape. There is not much lifetime left. We’ve
reviewed different proposals from different entities, but none was really
feasible.”
