SATELLITE DEBRIS UPDATE: The first catalogued fragments of 
shattered satellite Cosmos 2251 are about to reenter Earth's 
atmosphere. According to US Strategic Command tracking data, 
reentries will occur on March 12th, 28th and 30th, followed 
by more in April.  Radar cross sections are not available 
for all of the reentering pieces; they are probably 
centimeter-class fragments that pose no threat to people 
on the ground.  Visit http://spaceweather.com for more information.
