If the fragments had their origin in outer space, the fragments to be found on Earth would be called "meteorites".

What are small fragments that have entered the earths atmosphere and fallen to the surface?

Small fragments that have entered the Earth's atmosphere and fallen to the surface are called meteorites. They can originate from asteroids, comets, or other celestial bodies and can vary in size from tiny dust particles to large rocks. Studying meteorites can provide insights into the composition and history of our solar system.

Those small fragments are known as meteoroids. When they enter the Earth's atmosphere, they produce a bright streak of light, known as a meteor or shooting star. If the meteoroid survives the journey through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.

What happened to the satellite that was supposed to crash down this last week?

It did ... ran into air and fell right down out of orbit. Whatever was left of it ... by the time it was finished burning up and reached the surface ... apparently fell into a region of the Pacific Ocean where radar coverage is sparse, so tracking was lost as it fell through the atmosphere, and there's a lot of uncertainty about exactly where it went into the drink. There have been hundreds of satellites that have "de-orbited" and fallen to Earth. They just haven't been played up in the news the way this one was.
