The wreckage of the much-discussed Chinese rocket has finally hit the world. It crashed into the Indian Ocean near the Maldives on Sunday morning, May 9. The matter was confirmed by Beijing on Sunday.
Citing Chinese media, Reuters, a UK-based news outlet, said most of the wreckage was still in the atmosphere before it hit the wreckage.
The wreckage of the rocket landed near the Maldives in the Indian Ocean at 10:24 pm US time on Saturday, according to China's National Space Administration. However, NASA has not yet commented on the matter.
Earlier, the country's space agency and astronomers said the wreckage could be found in a populated area of Italy. Due to which the local administration also issued warnings in these ten regions of Italy Umbria, Lazio, Abruzzo, Molise, Campania, Basilicata, Puglia, Calabria, Sicily and Sardinia.
However, citing the US military, CNN reporter Jim Scuto said on Saturday that the wreckage of the Long March Five B Chinese spacecraft could crash into parts of the Central Asian country of Turkmenistan.
The Long March 5B rocket was launched on April 29 to set up a Chinese space station. The rocket was successfully placed in orbit around the module of the Tianhe space station, but the ground station later lost control of it.
Later, a 100-foot-long (30-meter) part of it separated from the rocket and entered the Earth's atmosphere. That's what struck near the Maldives on Sunday morning.
