ISRO is headed for a challenging experiment of controlled re-entry of a now-defunct low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite, called Megha-Tropiques-1 (MT1), on March 7. The satellite is expected to crash down in the Pacific Ocean. MT1, which launched on October 12, 2011, was a joint venture between ISRO and the French space agency CNES, for studying the water cycle and energy exchanges in tropical regions.
