LONDON: The European Space Agency (ESA) is watching the skies on Wednesday, with European Remote Sensing satellite ERS-2 due to descend on Earth, reported German news agency (dpa).The ERS-2 was launched in 1995, following on from its sister satellite, ERS-1, which had been launched four years earlier.At their time of launch, the two ERS satellites were the most sophisticated Earth observation satellites ever developed.In 2011, the ESA retired ERS-2 and began the process of deorbiting.After 13 years of orbital decay, mainly driven by solar activity, the satellite will naturally re-enter Earth’s atmosphere.During re-entry, the satellite will break up into pieces.Most of the ERS-2 will burn up
