The tumbling German satellite Rosat re-entered the Earth's atmosphere over the Bay of Bengal, the German space agency (DLR) has confirmed.

This means any satellite components that survived the fiery plunge would have splashed into the ocean, avoiding populated areas.

Officials said Rosat re-entered the atmosphere at 0150 GMT on Sunday.
