The "entry zone" is a strip in a remote area of the South Pacific 2,700 kilometers (1,700 miles) long by 200 kms (120 miles) wide, said Mike Steinkopf, in charge of the operation at European Space Agency (ESA) mission control. "We [have] notified the competent bodies in order to prevent ships and airplanes going through this area during the re-entry phase," he said. Discovery Channel.
