China’s Tiangong-1 space station will crash land
China’s Tiangong-1 space station is all about to crash land to Earth’s orbit in the upcoming weekend. Tension exists as the location of the crash site is not yet predicted by scientists.
Meanwhile, European Space Agency (ESA) states that the debris could hit the earth’s atmosphere 10 million times smaller than that of a lightning strike.
Tiangong-1, known as the ‘Heavenly Palace’ has been sent to space orbit on 29th September 2011 by the Chinese space agency. “In the history of spaceflight, no casualties due to falling space debris have ever been confirmed,” said the space agency.
As per reports, Chinese space agency lost control of the mega space station back in 2016. Scientists state that some of the debris could even survive friction, leading to a crash land.
