Van Allen Probe A's Fiery Return to Earth
NASAs Van Allen Probe A, after 14 years in space, is set to re-enter Earths atmosphere on March 10, 2026, around 7:45 PM EDT. The probe, which launched in 2012 for a planned two-year mission, gathered crucial data from Earths radiation belts, revealing a temporary third belt during solar storms. Despite fuel running low in 2019, the mission continues to provide valuable space weather insights, protecting satellites, astronauts, and power grids from radiation bursts. Most of the probe is expected to burn up, with only a few small pieces potentially surviving.
