Is that all? Only ~1 Ton per week?

Last year, the U.S. Space Force issued alerts for nearly 820 objects entering the Earth’s atmosphere.

“Re-entries happen each and every day,” "Huge objects weighing a metric ton or more arrive about once a week" according the space collision experts.

While much of the debris incinerates in the atmosphere or splashes into the Pacific, but when it does not - it can land anywhere and on one can predict where.

SpaceX indicates ~5% of the mass of some of its satellites may not disintegrate when they "de-orbit". https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/world/asia/space-debris-falling-crashing-earth-risk.html?unlocked_article_code=1.11A.WhlN.uAdqod1FWRBC
