Salsa successfully completed its first-ever targeted reentry on September 9, 2024, at 18:47 UTC, over the South Pacific Ocean. Captured as a bright dot, this event provided critical data for ESA's Space Debris team to enhance prediction models for satellite reentries. The airborne observation campaign marks a significant milestone after Salsa's 24 years in space.

Salsa successfully completed its targeted reentry on September 8, 2024, at 18:47 UTC, marking a historic moment for the Cluster mission. The airborne observation team from Astros Solutions captured the event, providing valuable data on satellite breakup dynamics. This reentry concludes the operational life of Salsa, the first of four Cluster satellites launched 24 years ago.

Salsa (Cluster 2) is set for reentry into Earth's atmosphere on September 8, 2024, at 18:48 UTC, following successful preparations by ESA's operations team. The airborne observation experiment, involving a team from Australia, aims to capture the reentry event over the South Pacific Ocean, with a precision uncertainty of just two minutes.
