US forces space command report
A Chinese missile entered the Earth’s atmosphere
A Chinese rocket entered Earth’s atmosphere from space on Saturday. This was announced by the US Forces Space Command on Twitter on Saturday.
As announced by the US Forces Space Command on Twitter, a Chinese missile entered Earth’s atmosphere from space on Saturday. At 6:45 p.m. German time, it was over the Indian Ocean. The US agency did not provide further details.
According to experts, the probability of infection of people or populated areas is very low. However, there have been criticisms from NASA. “The People’s Republic of China has not shared any specific information about the trajectory,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. However, this kind of information sharing is “crucial to the responsible use of space and the safety of people here on Earth.”
This is not the first time that NASA has criticized China
China has previously received criticism from NASA for the fact that the rocket did not break into smaller pieces when it entered the atmosphere, as is the international standard.
The country launched the second unit of the Tiangong (Sky Palace) space station, which is currently under construction, with a laboratory on board last Sunday. The Long March 5B rocket moved the craft into orbit within a few minutes. China’s space agency spoke of “complete success” after the start. The new unit will be docked with the “Tianhe” base unit, which was launched in April 2021.
Accordingly, in May 2021, the remains of a missile used for this purpose fell into the Indian Ocean near the archipelago of the Maldives. According to the Chinese space program, “most of it” was burned and destroyed when it re-entered Earth’s atmosphere.
