Quick Glance: Fragment of ISS Battery Hits Florida Residence
- A confirmed piece of space debris hit a Florida home in March, originating from a discarded ISS battery pallet.
- The fragment that entered the house of Alejandro Otero in Naples, Florida, pierced through the roof and crossed 2 floors.
- Following thorough examination, the US space agency confirmed that the fragment was indeed part of the cargo pallet used to secure the batteries.
- NASA intends to update its predictive models for object decay during re-entry and the ISS team will investigate the disposal of the cargo pallet to enhance understanding of the debris's survival.
