Huge Chinese rocket falls to Earth uncontrollably

A rocket that China launched into space on April 29 hits Earth and we do not know what will be his final destination. While there are estimates that it could drop in New York, Madrid and Beijing, or Chile and Wellington (New Zealand), the reality is that weather conditions can change these estimates quickly.

What happened is linked to the construction of the Chinese space station Tianhe. The Long March 5B rocket ejected the Heavenly Harmony unmanned module into Earth orbit. The problem is that yesterday the rocket, 22.5 tons, also entered orbit and the uncertainty began because it could fall into an inhabited area.

Although the same atmosphere gradually disintegrates the 50 meter high by five meter wide room, there will still be pieces. It is estimated that his fall would be the equivalent of a small plane crash spread over 160 kilometers around.

This is not the first time this has happened, in May of last year, another coin fell into the Atlantic Ocean near New York.

Wants follow the orbit of the rocket they can go to orbit.ing-now.com and search for 2021-035B, as designated by the United States.
