The much-covered piece of space junk, which used to be the Long March-5B Y2 rocket that delivered part of China’s space station into orbit on April 29, was expected to come down during the night between Saturday and Sunday. Initial estimates from the China Manned Space Engineering Office, a department of the People’s Liberation Army, placed the re-entry in Eastern Mediterranean.
However, the CMSE said the rocket made re-entry at 10:24 am Beijing time (02:24 GMT) and fell into the open ocean around 72.47 E longitude and 2.65 N latitude. Most of it burned up on re-entry, as the Long March descended at the average speed of 8 kilometers (five miles) per second.
