Beijing: A Chinese rocket lost control and crashed into the Indian Ocean. The rocket landed near the Maldives, according to reports from China.
It is confirmed that parts of Long March 5B re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere at 8 am and landed at a point 72.77 degrees east and 2.65 degrees north latitude. It is located near the Maldives. The researchers concluded that the rocket was likely to crash into the Pacific Ocean.
The 18-tonne part of the rocket, which is 100 feet high and weighs 22 tons, fell to the ground. The rocket, which was orbiting the Earth at a speed of 28,000 km / h, burned more than half of its body before crashing into the ground. Earlier, footage of rocket debris flying through the sky was also released. Scenes were seen passing through Oman and Israel. Uncertainty about the rocket’s orbit and China’s failure to provide accurate information ahead of the re – entry have caused concern among the nations of the world.
The Chinese rocket was launched on April 29. The Tianhe module, a key part of China’s newly built space station, was launched into orbit on April 29. The rocket, which detached from the Tianhe module, lost control while attempting to return safely to Earth. Fragments from the first Long March 5 rocket landed in Ivory Coast last year, damaging several buildings.
