MT1 will destroy satellite India: These were the UNIADC guidelines, launched for Weather Study

National Desk:
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is set to drop and destroy the satellite Megha-Tropics-1 (MT1) in the Pacific Ocean between 4:30-7:30 pm on Tuesday.  Preparations were underway since August.  This is happening to follow the guidelines of the United Nations Space Debris Agency (UNIADC).
The satellite was launched by ISRO in collaboration with French space agency CNES on October 12, 2011 in low orbit to study tropical weather and climate.  Although it was planned to be sent into space for 3 years but by 2021 it was giving important data about the climate so its timeframe was given bigger.
  ISRO had a commitment with UNIADC to keep it in space for 10 years.  Under UNIADC guidelines, any satellite has to be removed from orbit and destroyed after its life is over.  The alternative when not shooting down or destroying the satellite is to leave it in its orbit as such so that it will finish on its own.
  The satellite will be dropped in the Pacific Ocean somewhere between latitudes five degrees South to 14 degrees South and 119 degrees West to 100 degrees West.
