Chinese rocket debris falls into Indian Ocean near Maldives

Eventually, the debris of China’s uncontrolled rocket has fallen into the Indian Ocean. The US Defense Department Pentagon had warned a few days ago that this Long March 5B rocket of China would hit the earth. According to the data of the American Space Force, this rocket was moving towards the earth at a speed of 18 thousand miles per hour. Due to such a high speed, it could not be confirmed where its landing would be. Chinese media has said that it has fallen into water somewhere around Sri Lanka and Maldives in the southeast of India.

No news of loss of life or property

Information about any damage caused by falling debris of uncontrolled rocket has not been reported till the time of writing the news. The rocket, named 2021-035B, was 100 feet long and 16 feet wide. After entering the atmosphere, a large part of it got burnt and the rest fell into the water. Earlier there was speculation that it could fall in Southeast America, Mexico, Central America, Caribbean, Peru, Ecuador Colombia, Venezuela, South Europe, North or Central Africa, Middle East, South India or Australia. Although earlier it was feared to fall in Beijing, Madrid or New York, but due to its high speed, later it was difficult to confirm the place of landing.

There was a possibility of falling in the water itself

On the landing of this rocket, it was more likely that it would fall into the water itself. Since more than 70 percent of our planet is covered with water, it was a high probability that it would fall in a water body. This rocket started moving towards the earth uncontrollably and it was feared to hit the earth. However, experts had said that a large part of the rocket would be burnt to ashes when it came close to the earth. With the help of this rocket, China sent the first part of its space station to be built in space.
