for that let's talk to our john zarrella. talked with him earlier. >> this delta two rocket is going to be carrying twin satellites, each one about the size of a washing machine. they'll take a three-month route to the moon, saving fuel and money that way. when they get there, they're going do go into orbit, literally identical orbits, one behind the other. as they circle the moon for about three months in that orbit, they'll be going over mountains, going over valleys, going over masses that are hidden beneath the surface of the moon. as they do that, the gravitational tug on those satellites will force them to either move a little closer together or little further apart, as one goes over the mountains and the other one trails behind it. by doing this, the data they receive from that they'll be able to map the gravitational field of the moon. and by doing that, they're literally going to get a cat scan of the interior of the moon. why is that so important? well, despite the fact we sent humans to the moon and more than 100 d

. >> john zarrella is live at the ken city space center. how is the weather, john?ght it would be today. something i never really thought of, despite the fact that we have sent people to the moon, we really don't know what the moon is made of. the delta rocket behind me has two probes inside of it that nasa hopes, when they get to the moon, will awer that question. the moon. okay. so we have established it's not really made of green cheese. the apollo astronauts bagged up more than 800 pounds of rock and dirt. >> the soil here is a bit firmer, i think. >> reporter: what about all of that stuff? isn't what the moon is made of? that is just on top. the fact is we really don't know what is beneath the surface. >> the part of lunar understanding that we don't yet have is what is inside the moon, so to really understand the moon and understand what makes it special, we need to study what is inside. >> reporter: to dohat, nasa is embarking on a unique mission bawled grail. two space probes will fly one behind the other in identical owner bits around the moon. the gravitat

john zarrella in miami. where and when this morning, john?leaves five other continents that parts of this satellite may still fall, but nasa says the likelihood is very remote. the clock is ticking. some time after midnight tonight, if nasa's calculations are right, an old, dead satellite will reenter the earth's atmosphere and burn up. most of it, but not all of it. about half a ton will make it through. >> there are some pieces that are made of stainless steel and titanium and beryllium that have very high melting temperatures and those pieces will survive. zee a list of about 26 pieces and range from a few tens of pounds to few hundred pounds in size. >> you heard them right. some of the chunks of junk could be hundreds of pounds. but there's no need for you to run out and buy a hard hat. nasa scientists in houston say there's very little risk any of the debris from the 6 ton upper atmosphere research satellite will hit you. >> you can be hundreds of miles off in where it's coming down. >> reporter: harvard university astrophysicist jonath

let me bring in reynolds wolf as well as john zarrella who was telling us for the past several days ton. john, help us understand here. they know it came but don't know the exactly where it crashed. is that right? >> yeah, sometime between 11:23 p.m. eastern time last night and 1:09 eastern time, nasa says that the satellite did re-enter the earth's atmosphere. they're saying the joint space center in van denyburg air force base out in california said that it actually re-entered over the pacific ocean at -- between those times but they don't know exactly when or where it -- those parts that were expected to reach earth actually landed. so, that video over texas a long way from the pacific ocean, t.j. i mean, that may be a stretch. >> okay. well, we have people, and i can bring reynolds in on this. we have people all over the country and the world are claiming to have seen something. but that's come to be expected. everybody was watching the skies. you look up and see anything and think that's it. >> absolutely. i agree with john. the film from texas looks like it might be a kid up in a

i want to go to john zarrella live out of miami. his space junk that is going to come through the atmosphere, it's going to land, and i understand now nasa is saying it could be north america? >> reporter: there's some talk now -- you have to remember this satellite is very erratic. it's tumbling. it's basically in a descending orbit and that's why nasa has been saying right along that they really could not predict exactly when or where. although for the past couple days they were saying north america was ruled out, but now nasa is saying north america is not completely out of the picture any longer. you know, it could be -- and they're saying that it looks like it will be probably sometime around midnight tonight. others are saying maybe a little earlier tonight. but it looks like it could be -- it's possible that some of it could fall over the united states. still a very slim chance nasa is saying, but, you know, the united states is back in that cone of uncertainty let's say. suzanne? >> we'll be looking out for it, watching out f

john zarrella with more. >> reporter: they're in the process of the news conference right now., and bill nelson, two senators instrumental in pushing nasa forward and getting everyone in line to do this. in fact, the much-awaited, perhaps some would say overdue announcement of the next generation rocket, the one that will replace space shuttle and take astronauts to steroimars. $18 billion spread out over five years until the first vehicle flies. they did unveil an image, a sketch of it. and it will look to some degree very much like a space shuttle. it's going to have a giant elk attorney general tank in the -- external tank in the middle, liquid fuel. on the side, there will be two boosters like a space shuttle. they may be solid. they may be liquid boosters. so in essence they may go back more to an apollo era kind of technology. and an orion capsule which they are working on would be on the top of this rocket. so, you know, ultimately, kyra, this announcement could be, could be as big as the announcement of the shuttle program's creation or perhaps the announcement of human
