Debris from Chinese rocket lands in the Indian Ocean

Debris from the Chinese rocket, Long March 5B, has reentered the atmosphere over the Indian Ocean near the Maldives, the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) said.

The debris of the last stage of the Long March-5B Y2 carrier rocket reentered the atmosphere at 10:24 a.m. on Sunday (Beijing Time), the agency said.

“The vast majority of the device burned up during the reentry, and the landing area of the debris is around a sea area with the center at 2.65 degrees north latitude and 72.47 degrees east longitude,” it added.

The rocket launched on April 29 carried part of China’s new space station and was the first of the expected 11 missions necessary to complete the project.

It’s common for debris from the rockets to fall back to Earth, however, this piece caused concern because an “out of control” rocket meant that scientists weren’t sure where on the planet it would land.
