A secret
Soviet-navy satellite called Cosmos 954, which was launched on Sept. 18, 1977,
spiraled out of control. The spy radar antennas each sported a compact nuclear
reactor, making the reentry one of the most frightening to date for people on
the ground. On Jan. 24, 1978, Cosmos
954 reentered over Canada and shed debris across the frozen ground of the Canadian Arctic. Following the
crash, the U.S. and Canada conducted overflights of the area and associated cleanup efforts.
