According to the latest news from China Manned Space Engineering Office, the Tiangong-1 target aircraft re-entered the atmosphere at around 8: 05 on April 2, which is located in the central region of the South Pacific, that is, the position in the picture. Most devices are ablated and destroyed during reentry, and the probability of hitting people is extremely low, which is only a theoretical possibility.
Tiangong-1 is the first target aircraft in China, which consists of an experimental module and a resource module. Its successful launch indicates that China has its own space laboratory and the first "China House" in the vast universe. Tiangong-1 has been rendezvous and docked with shenzhou spaceship for six times. After the mission was fully completed, the data service was officially terminated on March 16, 2065438, and the orbit decayed.
Today, Tiangong-1 has returned to Earth. Although it is a bit imperfect, it is still a milestone in the development of our space industry. Next, China plans to build a long-term large-scale national space laboratory around 2020, thanks to the relevant technical verification of Tiangong-1, and the honor won by Tiangong-1 belongs to all astronauts; They are meticulous, race against time, and realize the Chinese nation's space dream with hard sweat and tenacious struggle.
The American media are very concerned about the entry of the China Space Laboratory into the atmosphere. The American media pointed out that China Tiangong-1 was "out of control" and would "crash" the earth. This kind of hype often happened before. New York Post published an article saying that Tiangong-1 weighed 9 tons and entering the atmosphere would be a "man-made disaster". Although most of them will be burned, a small amount of debris will still hit the ground.
According to the analysis of aerospace experts, it is likely that Tiangong-1 will eventually fall in the South Pacific. The head of the Malaysian National Space Administration announced that the probability of Tiangong-1 falling in Malaysia is only 0.09%, and the Americans are sparsely populated, but the probability of hitting people is very low.
