In 2021, the Times reported that an out-of-control SpaceX rocket stage re-entered Earth’s atmosphere near Seattle. The rocket’s core is falling out of Earth’s orbit and is expected to make an uncontrolled re. In 1961, a cow in Cuba was killed, according to Brown University’s Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology & the Ancient World. The Long March5B Chinese rocket launched a module of the country’s space station on 29 April. The Long March 5B was launched from Chinas Hainan. So far, there are no recorded instances of a human being killed by space debris reentering the atmosphere, the The Washington Post reported. A large Chinese rocket thought to be out of control is expected to crash back to Earth at some point on Saturday, but nobody knows where exactly.
“As far as I understand, this type of rocket adopts a special technical design, and the vast majority of the devices will be burnt up and destructed during the re-entry process, which has a very low probability of causing harm to aviation activities and the ground,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbing said at a briefing, obtained by AP. In 2021, China said that they believed the booster posed little threat to people on the ground. Earlier, in 2020, 2021 and in 2022, three times Chinas rocket trembled back into the earth. This is the fourth time when a Chinese rocket hit back on Earth. Areas in Asia south of Japan were also possible locales for the space debris.Īccording to a study published in “ Nature Astronomy” this month, researchers say that there is a “10% chance of one or more casualties over a decade” caused by rocket body reentry based on current launch practices. The rocket stage, by design, did not include a system to guide it into a specific spot on Earth, far away from people. Those coordinates covered a wide swath of the Earth, including North America south of New York, South America, Africa, Australia, Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain. Previously, the European Space Agency predicted a “risk zone” that encompasses “any portion of Earth’s surface between about 41.5 N and 41.5 S latitude,” CNN reported.
