"NASA Watch" reports that Arabsat 4 has been de-orbited. I have no confirmation of this report, just passing it along. From the story posted at 3:19 PM (timezone?) 24 March 2006: "Arabsat 4A is Back on Earth -- Editor's note: Arabsat 4a has been splashed into the Pacific Ocean. It went in at 43 degrees south 212 degrees east on 24 March."
