UARS與ROSAT衛星墜落

On the Differentiated Curriculum of Academic- and Employment-Oriented Programs for Upper-Secondary Vocational Schools in Germany

美國大氣研究衛星UARS於2011年9月24日墜落，隨後德國天文研究衛星ROSAT於2011年10月23日墜落。由於可能落點涵蓋地球80%以上的面積，衛星墜落造成民眾擔憂。衛星墜落前幾天開始，本中心即利用NRLMLISE-00 Density Model計算軌道，並利用Ground Contact Analysis準確預估臺灣警戒時間，提報行政院中央災防辦公室，並在NSPO網站發布提供國人參考。 NASA’s satellite UARS(Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite) re-entered on September 24, 2011, and then DLR’ssatellite ROSAT(ROentgen SATellite) also re-entered on October 23, 2011. Since the probable falling locationscovered over 80% of the global area, the satellite re-entries triggered people anxiety. Beginning several daysbefore the reentry, NSPO calculated the orbits using NRLMLISE-00 Density Model, and accurately predicted thesurveillance time through the ground contact analysis. The simulation results were reported to the Office of DisasterManagement of the Executive Yuan, and posted on the NSPO public website for the references.
