China’s 23-ton core stage of a Long March 5B booster reentered the Earth’s atmosphere over the Arabian Peninsula on May 8th. Prior to reentering the atmosphere, the section of the Long March 5B was falling through space at a rate of 18,000 miles per hours after blasting off last month. The rocket was said to be carrying part for China’s new space station, and while it isn’t rare for pieces of a rocket to fall back to Earth, what caused concern for many was the lack of control and landing location of the part. Scientists had taken into account various lines of travel for the rocket part, but determined that the likelihood of it resulting in any deaths was very slim. As the Long March 5B reentered the atmosphere over the Arabian Peninsula, Space Command officials still aren’t aware if the debris impacted land or water. However, Space-Track.org stated on Twitter that the Long March 5B fell into the Indian Ocean north of the Maldives where analysts have identified a watery grave for any rocket pieces that could have managed survive the reentry.
