The satellite was named Earth Radiation Budget Satellite and weighed 2450 kg.

The satellite entered Earth's atmosphere over the Bering Sea...........

NASA expected that most of this satellite would burn up as soon as it entered the atmosphere, but the entire satellite did not burn up.

In 1984, NASA launched the ERBS satellite aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger to study how Earth absorbs and radiates the Sun's energy.

NASA has said that the Earth Radiation Budget satellite has exceeded its expected service, its observation has greatly helped research.

When it became abundantly clear that the satellite was bound to fall in space, NASA announced the end of the ERBS satellite.

Along with the announcement, NASA said the risk of injury to people on the ground from debris is very low.
