Remains rocket This weekend, the Chinese re-entered Earth’s atmosphere and crashed “out of control” over the Pacific Ocean.
They were pieces rocket Long March 5Bwhich was launched earlier this week to send the Mengtian module to complete China’s Tiangong space station.
Risk to the planet
This type of “unmanaged” reentry by a space project China since they are repeatedly those that have occurred. In all three previous cases, debris fell on a populated area along the west coast of Africa; in the Indian Ocean off the Maldives; and in North Borneo.
In this case, it was the US Space Command that was responsible for finding the remains minutes before they entered Earth’s atmosphere.
According to your data rocket it entered the planet over the south-central Pacific at 10:01 UTC.
During his final moves, he flew over Spain, even causing an air traffic violation to avoid a collision.
Rocket wreckage details
Immediately after his return, the characteristics of these remains became known.
Having received the name CZ-5B, it had a mass of 17 to 23 tons and a weight of 30 meters.
The Chinese space program, unlike private programs such as SpaceX, does not reuse rocketsso after each run they are reset.
The problem is that its return to the planet is not monitored, and the rest of the space agencies are in suspense to find out where the fragments that have not broken up in the atmosphere will fall. Just a few days ago, a large piece of a Long March 2D rocket hit a farm in northeast China.
