- Are there examples of objects that have survived reentry?
- How much material from a satellite will survive reentry?
- What is a “debris footprint?”
- Can we predict where debris will land?
- Can we control where debris will land?
- Has anyone been hit by falling debris?
- How fast will debris be moving when it lands?
