the chinese rocket who has the world in suspense approaches the Earth and it is still unclear where it will impact although in the last few hours, experts monitoring its trajectory have narrowed down the areas where it could fall. the Pentagon American and the European space authorities They continue the continuous surveillance of the artifact designed by the Chinese regime which is out of control. In the last hours U.S. military experts noted that the Long March 5B rocket could hit the surface between Saturday and Sunday..

BeijingAfter remaining silent for several days, he decided to minimize the situation by ensuring that there was no danger. “The probability of causing damage is extremely low“Said the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Wang wenbin. “Most of the components will be destroyed“Entering the atmosphere,” added one of the main spokespersons for Chinese autocracy propaganda.

Last Thursday, China launched the first of three elements of its rocket-powered space station, CSS Long walk 5B. It is the body of this rocket that will land in the next few days. He presented the event as a spatial landmark, without accounting for the potential dangers. After the separation of the space module, the launcher began to orbit the planet in an irregular trajectory, slowly losing height, making it almost impossible to predict its point of entry into the atmosphere, and therefore its point of fall.

The US Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, said to wait for the object to fall in an uninhabited place “where it doesn’t hurt anyone”And hinted that it was a neglect on the part of China to let the rocket body come out of orbit.

For its part, European Union Space Surveillance and Surveillance Service (EUSST) is monitoring the rocket uncontrollably, but finds it unlikely that debris will fall in populated areas of Earth.

the Long walk 5B was used last week by China to launch into space one of the modules of its future space station, and it is expected that throughout the weekend it will impact the Earth’s atmosphere, which has raised concerns about the likely fall on Earth of some of its debris and the activation of various surveillance service spaces.

Among these, the EU Space Surveillance and Tracking Service, an international consortium that includes several space agencies and public bodies from many European countries, including the Technological and industrial development center (CDTI), depending on Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation.

This consortium has been monitoring the return to the Earth’s atmosphere of the gigantic Chinese space object, which has an estimated mass between 17 and 21 tons and a size of about 30 meters, for several days, and observed that these dimensions make it one of the most big pieces that come back to Earth and therefore “deserves careful monitoring“.

The network of sensors and radars of this space surveillance service observes the object “to closeAnd verified its fall, and reduced its window of entry into Earth’s atmosphere to a period between May 8 and 9.
