Just heard the other day that a U.S. spy satellite is going to do a Skylab landing, probably in late Feb., somewhere in North America they think. I heard it still has some fuel onboard, but some communication problem with it is causing it's orbit to decay. Wondered if anyone else has heard this. I'll have pics if I see it or maybe can find a piece... icon_biggrin.gif
