On April 29, China launched the first module for its space station ‘Heavenly Palace’. This module was sent into space by the powerful Long March 5b rocket.

The rocket sent into space from China is uncontrolled and is moving towards the Earth. No one knows when and when it enters the Earth’s atmosphere, where and when it will end by burning. However, it will start burning while entering the earth’s atmosphere, but the possibility of debris coming out of it to fall in the habitable place is very less. Experts informed the news agency AFP on Friday.
Actually, China launched the first module for its space station ‘Heavenly Palace’ on 29 April. The step taken for the permanent presence of humans in space was a milestone for Beijing. This module was sent into space through the powerful Long March 5b rocket. Now the core stage of this rocket is moving fast towards the earth. It is moving at a speed of four miles per second. At such a speed, the earth can be cycled in two hours.
Very unlikely rocket to burn completely
Now if Chinese engineers do not have any control over this core stage then it is not happening due to any technical flaw or unresolved disturbances. Actually, this rocket was designed just like that. Gravity starts pulling such objects towards the earth as it enters the lower orbit of the earth. Such objects start burning due to heat while moving towards the surface. The long march is so big that it is extremely unlikely to burn completely. It weighs 18 tons.
What kind of possibilities are there with the rocket?
Given the height of the rocket at present, it is very difficult to predict its entry into the earth. It is still built at an altitude of 150 to 250 km. Nicholas Bobrinsky, head of engineering and innovation at the European Space Agency, said lower-density density in the atmosphere becomes more dangerous. In such a situation, we cannot say anything about what will happen when. According to European time late on Friday night, it will enter the atmosphere of the Earth by 9 o’clock in the night.
Right now the rocket is spinning at an inclination of 41 degree equator. This means that its debris will fall 41 degrees north and 41 degrees south. These locations include the Tropical and Genorous bands. This belt includes Greece, Spain and North Africa. Apart from this, most of America and China are also included. France and Germany are out of it. The most likely landing zone of a rocket is water because about three-quarters of the Earth’s surface is covered by the oceans. Scientists say that the probability of the debris falling on the habitation area is one in a million.
