Chinese space rocket fell not only in the sea: new details have become known (video)
However, local media reports that a metal ring with a diameter of 5 meters and other smaller fragments was found in Indonesia, as well as such fragments were found in Malaysia. It is assumed that these are the remains of Chinese rocket Charzhen-5B, reports The Guardian. Read the best materials of the section "Focus. Technology and Science" on Facebook as early as July 24, Chinese Space missile Changzhen-5B has delivered a second segment of China's space station to orbit, as Focus wrote.
After that, the developed degree of rocket began uncontrolled rapprochement with the ground. Initially, the experts suggested that it would fall in an unknown place on the planet on August 1, then new data appeared, which spoke about the rocket's entry into the atmosphere on July 31. But, as focus has already wrote, the second stage of the Changzhen-5B missile entered the atmosphere of the Earth on July 30 and did not completely burn.
The debris left, and according to US experts, it is from 20% to 40% of the 22-ton rocket, still fell on the planet. According to the Chinese Space Agency reports, the fragments of the rocket fell not on land, but in the sea Sulu, which is located between the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. But according to new media reports in Malaysia and Indonesia, the fragments of the Chinese rocket still landed on land.
In particular, in Malaysia, locals near one of the villages found a charred metal ring with a diameter of about 5 meters. The Astrophysicist from Harvard-Smithson's Astrophysics, USA, Jonathan McDowell believes that this ring is in size in size, corresponds to the degree of the Chinese Space Missile. Residents of Indonesia also reported local media that they found metal debris that had been drawn into the ground to a short depth.
The fall of the debris was not affected by neither the infrastructure nor the people. According to McDowell, the quality of the photos published by local media with 100% confidence cannot be said that these are the wreckage of the Changzhen-5B missile. But he is convinced that the fragments of the rocket were precisely landed not only in the sea, if they believe in the Chinese side, but also in the territory of two Asian countries.
"I still think that many fragments of this rocket fell on land and they could do significant damage if they landed a little closer to local villages," says McDauel. According to the scientist, most space missiles are now projected so that the uncontrolled entrance of the exhaustive degree of the rocket into the atmosphere can be avoided.
But Chinese space missiles fall to the ground for the third time for the third time, however, fortunately, all these incidents have not led to the death of people. Many experts criticize China because it cannot provide a controlled descent of rockets after execution of land missions. Some scientists believe that such a fall of debris should be expected in the fall of this year, when another Chinese rocket will go into space to deliver the third segment of the SNR space station.
