Samsung Space Satellite Crash Lands In Michigan Couple's Yard

MICHIGAN — A Samsung space satellite made a crash landing in a Michigan couple's yard recently.

The "Space Selfie" device, which the company said aimed to capture images “using a unique view of planet earth as the backdrop,” was found by Nancy Mumby-Welke and her husband on Saturday morning after they heard a loud crash outside their home in Gratiot County, reports said.

The device was launched last week into space by Samsung, according to reports. It was part of a promotional campaign with actress and model Cara Delevingne, but the company confirmed the device came back down to earth. Samsung described it as an “early soft landing in a selected rural area” that was “planned” because of weather conditions in the United States, NBC reported.

Samsung has the satellite back, but not before the couple had the chance to take a selfie with it, according to reports.
