Uncontrolled fall to Earth of the Chinese Long March 5B rocket?
Is expected for tomorrow there uncontrolled fall on the Land of a component of the Chinese rocket Long March 5B, which on 24 July brought the second module of the Chinese space station Tiangong into orbit. L’impactexpected for the rocket component, will have an uncertainty of more or less 15 hours and will remain in flight for approx a week. It is still premature to speculate on the place of the fall, to be circumscribed, probably, in the area between Sardinia and the Sicily, in case it should end up on Italian soil. In general, the most likely area affected by debris fall will be the one confined to thePacific Ocean.
According to US Center for Orbit Studies and Space Debris Reentry (Cords), Not Sara complete burn is expected in the atmosphere of the rocket component. “We expect a fragment with a mass of between 5 and 9 tons to reach the ground,” were the words of the Cords experts.
It is also not the first time that an object will fall to earth in an uncontrolled way. Similar events had in fact occurred in the previous missions of the rocket in question. The 5 May 2020, in fact, the first launch of Lunga Marcia 5B took place, which saw the main stage detach and fall off the West coast of Africawhile in May of the following year the component ended inIndian Ocean.
According to Bill Nelsonadministrator of the NASA, “China is not meeting accountability standards regarding their space debris.” According to Nelson “it is essential that China and all nations traveling in space, as well as commercial entities, act responsibly and transparently, to ensure the long-term security, stability and sustainability of activities in space” .
