The debris from the Long March-5B Chinese rocket, which was launched last week, fell back into the sea in the Philippines on Sunday, the news agency reported quoting the Chinese government. “Most of the ruins are burned after re -entering the atmosphere,” officials were quoted as saying by AP.
Some users in Malaysia reported the rocket debris appearance on social media. One of the videos was re -shared by Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Center for Astrophysics, US.
US space officials said that meanwhile they could confirm the booster had re -entered the Indian Ocean, they referred to China ‘for details about technical aspects’, including the location of the impact. “The People’s Republic of China did not share special track information when the Mon 5 Mon rocket fell back to earth,” NASA administrator Bill Nelson Tweeted separately.
“All spaces of space must follow the best practice set, and do their part to share this type of information in advance to enable predictions that can be relied upon from the risk of potential debris, especially for heavy elevator vehicles, such as long March 5B long , which brings a significant risk of loss of lives and property, “he added.
This is the third incident of an uncontrolled entry by a Chinese rocket amplifier. Nasa accused Beijing of “failing to meet the standards responsible for the debris of their space” after the Chinese rocket parts landed in the Indian Ocean in May 2021. Before this, the 18 ton rocket fell uncontrolled in May 2020.
In 2016, Tiangong-1, China’s first space station crashed into the Pacific Ocean after Beijing confirmed loss of control. China has rejected Western concerns over the debris, calling it staining efforts when the US space competition increased.
