also mentioned previous cases like you said in ivory coast so there have been some like cases where de vry has crossed back to us is there anything that can be done to prevent and the not scale damage in this case not in this case it's too late it's going to come down where it's going to come down it's going to 18000 miles narrow 20000 kilometers an hour around the earth and it's about 150 kilometers up right now. it's going to burst into flame break apart the debris probably about a ton might survive re-entry and there's really nothing you can do about it all we can do is try and persuade china that before the next launch of this type of rocket they change the design to be more like what other countries do for their big rockets and make sure that this station is not going to orbit. is there a reckon they snow how to mitigate space debris if any. you know there are there's no law right but there are some guidelines that most countries adopt in terms of how long you should let your space debris stay in orbit where it can be but there's no rule right now about not letting big things fall out

come just 8 days after a truck bomb at a university entrance south of kabul left $27.00 people dead de vry from china's biggest rocket has fallen into the indian ocean near the mall deaves occupy lego chinese state run media reports most of the vehicle disintegrated and burnt up as it reentered the atmosphere the rocket long march 5 b. was launched last week and carried a section of china's future space station 10 more launches a planned to take parts of the station into orbit the rockets in terms of ends days of speculation about where this 30 meter long unit would keep its space experts monitored the rockets uncontrolled reentry closely since it was the biggest piece of space debris to tumble back to us in 30 years. earlier i spoke to keith cowing editor of the space news website nasa watch dot com and also why this why the rocket debris had been causing so much concern. when you normally when you launch a rocket the u.s. and russia and so forth you have the 1st stages console playing with a prop here and after it sends the rest of the rocket further out it fires its surgeons in comes ba

chinese space agency put the landing area here just west of the maldives it's not yet clear whether any de vry actually landed on the islands china says most of it bundle up the rocket called long march 5 launched 10 days ago carrying part of china's 1st part of the space station nasa has criticized beijing for failing to control the daybreak saying that it isn't meeting responsible standards savvy and sound is a senior research fellow at the university of southern queensland institute for advanced engineering and space sciences he says china is the only country that still allows the uncontrolled reentry of space junk. large spaces can reach the ground but it doesn't happen too often and certainly not really way in populated areas today the main place that entered the atmosphere was about 20 times in 30 meters long so that was certainly the single piece that entered the atmosphere once it entered the atmosphere was broken up into many smaller pieces previously a long match 5 b. is being reported to drop a piece that was 12 meters long so you could imagine if there were people around that it wo
