ISRO's RISAT-2 makes uncontrolled reentry into earth's atmosphere at predicted impact point

Since its injection, RISAT-2's radar payload services were provided for various space applications. On re-entry, there were no fuel left in the satellite and hence there are no contaminations or explosion by fuel is expected, ISRO said. Studies confirmed that the pieces generated due to aero-thermal fragmentation would not have survived re-entry heating and hence no fragments would have impacted on Earth, it said.
