Tracking the burning of space debris

The European module "Jules Verne" today will be dropped from orbit into the atmosphere and its remains will sink in the Pacific Ocean. Before you destroy the module that has served its place, it will contain debris from the international space station. More precisely, it has already been placed, as judging by the trajectory, the module will soon go to a “deadly peak”.

It would seem, what have Habr? :) I decided to write it in this blog not because this news is really interesting and important for me (and it is interesting for me :)). It was just when checking the orbit of “Jules Verne” that I first encountered a system that allows tracking the movements of satellites in real (well, almost) time.

Here is the orbit of Jules Verne . It will end today ...

But the service itself.

UPD: estimated module trajectory:

UPD2: Jules Verne is destroyed, so the link now leads to tracking of the Zarya space station
