Roskosmos published a map of the zones of a possible fall of the stage of the Chinese missile Long March 5B, which unmanaged comes from the orbit. According to the card available on the VKontakte State Corporation page, the device can enter the atmosphere of the Earth on one of the eight turns, which will be made by the step at night on May 9 Moscow time.
Data on the trajectories of the rocket stage were collected and analyzed by the main information and analytical center of the automated system of warning about dangerous situations in the near-corporate space. The object loses the height of the orbit. During the day of the apogee (far from the Earth, the orbit point) decreased by 18 kilometers and at the moment 267 kilometers, and perigee (close to Earth Point of Orbit) – three kilometers to 156 kilometers. By calculations, the object can enter the Earth’s atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean.
According to officials of China, most of the chips of the Chinese missile “Changzhen-5B” will burn at the entrance to the atmosphere, therefore the risk of damage from their fall to Earth is very low. It is possible to define the place of its fall to determine the place of its fall only a few hours before that it is still impossible due to the high speed of the object.
