I have been following the TIANGONG 1 on satview and it just started flashing. It went from time to reenter to re-entry window. Could change though but this is the first time I have watched it go into a re-entry window.

Tin foil covered hard hats on!!

Hmmm.... I’ve been watching the SATVIEW screen off and on all day and it seems that the Altitude has been continuously shown as 148.91 km. What’s with that? Isn’t this thing supposed to be getting closer to earth.....

1.06am: The Tiangong-1 is nearing the end of its first orbit during its re-entry window

The Chinese space station that is set to hit Earth within hours is nearing the end of its first orbit during the re-entry period, Mr McDowell claimed.

He said: “Approaching the end of Orbit 1 of the reentry window. Aerospace Corp seems to have an updated 132 x 140 km orbit, no updated Space-Track TLE yet.”

Watching several websites with "realtime" projections. Seems like it could be hours away.

"1.06am: The Tiangong-1 is nearing the end of its first orbit during its re-entry window.

From a somewhat liveblog: https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/940114/Chinese-Tiangong-1-Space-Station-tracker-LIVE-expected-to-crash-midnight-tonight-latest

From Satflare, it is still 146 KM, which means a while to go. http://www.satflare.com/track.asp?q=37820#TOP

Satview still has it at 149 KM and going over 28 KPH.

Fittingly, it looks like it crashed near Easter Island off the west coast of South America.

Closest land mass to the splashdown site was, get this, Easter Island!
