The satellite was the first to photograph the entire sky in search of X-ray sources
Now it's official, the German ROSAT satellite has fallen. This is according to the German space agency DLR. The entry into the atmosphere occurred between 01:45 and 02:15 GMT on October 23. No reports were recorded from populated areas.
The American strategic command that followed the satellite reduced the German's time range to plus or minus seven minutes around 01:50, during these minutes it flew over the Indian Ocean and did not reach China as they initially feared.
No reports were received of damage to an inhabited place.
The launch of the satellite on June 1, 1990 marked the beginning of the mission that would allow researchers to perform a survey of the entire sky in the X-ray field.
X-rays detected in the universe are extremely hot, and were created as a result of high-energy processes, usually the ingestion of matter by a black hole or neutrino star.
Since then, several X-ray satellites have been launched and many interesting sources of this radiation have been discovered.
