The weapon is called "Rods from God" and consists of metal rods made from a heavy high- melting metal. These rods are to be dropped from a great height by military satellites and can apparently, cause very great destruction.
Has any one any more info on this and perhaps show us some calculations of the terminal velocity, evergy involved, etc?

Ihave just found out that the said weapon consists of bundles of tungsten rods, to be dropped on targets.

My information was from a recent short item by the science correspondent of Times, a serious newspaper in UK. It was the day after the Chinese shot down their sattellite.
