A part of China’s space rocket fallen to Maldives

As the officials has expected before, part of china’s space rocket (LongMarch5b) has fallen to Maldivian ocean today, around 7:24am. It has re-entered the earth near Dhaalu Atoll and its weight is over 18tonnes.

A heavy part of rocket as this much has not fallen to earth in years. It was expected to break in to pieces while re-entering to earth’s atmosphere. China also reported no harm from the falling rocket part. Around the world, people were observing the falling object and estimating where it will land.

Some websites live-streamed as well. America reported that they were monitoring and observing closely as a heavy uncontrolled rocket part was making re-entry to earth.

A year ago also, a part of space rocket has fallen to earth and that time it landed in Ivory-Coast. In 1979, parts of America’s space station “Skyclub” fell to western Australia.
