...and it will get a really close-up and personal view of the Upper Atmosphere it was designed to study... :-)
Anybody know if there is still any life left in it? Any telemetry or whatever?

Did anyone notice the UARS satellite is expected to come down the first day of "Fall" in North America? :-)

UARS 1 21701U 91063B 11263.18833764 .01299762 11120-4 56017-3 0 6054 2 21701 56.9440 281.4376 0013731 14.2607 345.8929 16.21836581108546
Until last night the altitude of UARS varied between 130-140 miles. As I type this it is at 127 miles and appears to be gradually dropping. If you have Ham Radio Deluxe v.5 add the 'Visual' sats group and you will see UARS listed.
