Chinese authorities released a module of the 20-tonne ‘Long March-5B’ into the final stage of its space station
The remains of an uncontrolled Chinese missile will fall to Earth this Friday and Spain is in its path. The module, which weighs 20 tons and comes from the ‘Long March-5B Y4’, is part of China’s ambitious space plan to create its own International Space Station.
The Chinese authorities released this module unchecked, causing global chaos and alerting all competent authorities. This is the third time in two years that Chinese space authorities have caused this global danger, which NASA has labeled as irresponsible on other occasions.
The 20-ton module, expected to largely decompose in the atmosphere, will fly twice over Spain and the Iberian Peninsula on Friday morning, the European agency responsible for space surveillance has warned.
In particular, the Spanish air traffic controllers indicated via their Twitter account the Canary Islands, Santa Maria and Lisbon (Portugal), Madrid and Barcelona on their route before departing for Marseille (France). This puts the air traffic control centers of Lisbon, Madrid and Barcelona on edge. The chaos can be capital.
The airspace of the airports of Barcelona, Reus, Tarragona and Ibiza is already closed and several flights are expected to be delayed and diverted this Friday.
