IIRC it will be in atmosphere one it’s altitude is around 100km. Is that about right?
Yeah. I've also read that once under 150km they can't make more than one orbit without power. This one made a few. But it's dropping pretty quick now.
Looks like it will have one more minor peak in about an hour then it's all down from there.
Edit: That peak is due to begin now. But it's falling so fast it may not make it.

THE CHINESE space station Tiangong-1 is expected to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere at midnight tonight where it will burn up roughly 37 miles above the ground.
Monday, April 2
12.10pm: Tiangong-1 is set to pass over Saudi Arabia
The Chinese space station is set to pass over Gabon, Sudan, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait within the next 30 minutes, according to astronomer Jonathan McDowell.
He declared: “Upcoming passes: 11.22 UTC Gabon, 11.25 UTC Bangui, C.A.R., 11.28 UTC Sudan, 11.32 UTC Saudi Arabia, 11.34 UTC Kuwait.”
All of these times would be one hour ahead in GMT.
12.03am: Tiangong-1 passes over Patagonia during re-entry window
The Chinese space station has now passed over the South American region of Patagonia.
Sunday, April 1
23.52: Tiangong-1 re-entry window is now open
The re-entry window for the Chinese space station is now open - it is still unknown exactly when and where it will land.

Lol @ Michigan for freaking out over this. It looks like it’s gonna hit in the South Pacific off the coast of Chili.

I was hoping it would be somewhere where I could watch the fireball, but doesn't look like it'll be anywhere near DFW, much less CONUS.

If it makes South America this orbit it goes over Brasilia and close to Santiago.

China confirmed it has reentered. It never made it to South America. It came in over the south central pacific at about 7:15 CDT.

I see all the reports that it re-entered. I don't know what this one is tracking. LINK
Posted on 4/1/18 at 8:54 pm to autauga
I'm beginning to think most of these trackers just used an algorithm to predict its track and none were actually using live data.
Except the Chinese perhaps. They confirmed the time and coords.
