Universal time is the same as Greenwich mean time.

Another one bites the dust. Seems like there ought to be some way to recycle this ex=high tech stuff.

The ISS Toolbag will enter <A rel="external" title="" class="alinks_links" href="http://www.universetoday.com/guide-to-space/earth/">Earth</A>'s atmosphere and completely burn up.  Current estimates say the toolbag should become a fireball on August 3 around 1316 Universal Time.  It should be visible over the Pacific Ocean west of Mexico (12.7° N, 257.1° E).  Astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper dropped the backpack-sized kit on Nov. 18, 2008, while she was working outside the International Space Station. Since then the toolbag has circled Earth over 4,000 times, and has even been visible from the ground.
