Scientific paper
The paper presents a review of the management of the MIR deorbiting in Italy, with special emphasis on the role played by CNUCE, active in the field of reentry predictions for civil protection purposes since 1979. After a short historical introduction, the criteria used for the definition of potentially risky space objects are presented and discussed, together with the lessons learned during previous reentry campaigns. The activity carried out for MIR is then described in detail, highlighting the end products needed for the civil protection emergency planning. MIR was never declared a risk space object in Italy and only a limited alert status was activated, ready to switch to full emergency if needed. However, the event represented a useful training opportunity and a good example of international cooperation, paving the way for the future end-of-life disposal of large low earth spacecraft.
