At last Soviet spaceships had metric bolts, so if it falls near my workshop I have the wrenches to quickly recover a lot of useful parts

@sundogplanets @lisamelton ESA‘s latest updates:

Edit: "Status 10 May 09:56 CEST
As the descent craft was not spotted by radar over Germany at the expected 07:32 UTC / 09:32 CEST pass, it is most likely that the reentry has already occurred."

@Elephant @lisamelton @sundogplanets and now it has not been seen at the expected time

(if I'm not mistaken, after a pass that was mostly over the oceans, right?)
