On January 15, 2006, after more than 7 years and billions of miles of travel through space, NASA's Stardust spacecraft
will release a 100-pound sample return capsule (SRC) to Earth with some precious cargo -- pristine samples of comet
and interstellar dust. Stardust will provide the world's first opportunity to analyze preserved samples of the fundamental
building blocks of our Solar System that formed 4.6 billion years ago.
During the pre-dawn hours of Sunday, January 15th, the Stardust sample return capsule's entry will occur at
approximately 2:57 am Mountain time. Peak re-entry heating is expected to occur at an altitude of 61 km, (200,000 ft or 38
statute miles). The main heating-phase occurs over northern central Nevada, somewhat west & south of the
corresponding Genesis re-entry phase (Figures 1 & 2).

Le mien s'est vaporisé sur Tempel-1 avec Deep Impact, s'est posé sur Mars avec les Rovers et doit bientôt (dans quelques heures) partir pour Pluton... :D
