UPDATE (Jan. 14, 2012, 5:30 pm EST): Space-track.org's current estimate of the reentry window is 15JAN12 1326Z-15JAN12 2302Z, which translates into tomorrow, January 15, between 8:26 am and 6:02 pm EST. Russia's main news agency, Itar-Tass, reports that Russia's space agency Roscosmos is predicting it will fall on January 15 or 16, with the midpoint of the window at 21:51 Moscow Time tomorrow (or 1:51 pm EST), and that reentry will occur "off of Chile." Forecasting satellite reentry times and locations is a very imprecise science, so these predictions should not be considered definitive.
