China said the debris of a large Chinese missile that was launched last month ended up in the Indian Ocean. Chinese state media reported that the body ended up in the ocean somewhere southwest of Sri Lanka and India.
The missile debris reportedly entered the atmosphere at 4:24 AM Dutch time. Most of the missile would have burned while entering the atmosphere. The Chinese argue that the damage is unlikely to have occurred.
International agreements
Space experts had warned that parts of the 30-meter-long missile could have fallen into populated areas. The European Space Agency, ESA, fears that debris from the launch vehicle will land in southern Europe. Washington has also complained that according to international agreements, missiles must return to the ocean in a controlled manner while their last fuel is used.
This was not the case with this missile. Lately, the body has been racing through space uncontrollably. It was clearly going to break this weekend, but nobody knows exactly where and when. Additionally, the missile that landed in the Indian Ocean was one of the largest human-made objects to ever return to the atmosphere. Body weight is more than 20 tons. So it was nearly impossible to predict which parts would burn and which would shatter on the ground.
Concerns about the missiles were ‘western propaganda’
Although the chances of it reaching the ocean were very high, countries expressed their concerns. However, China insisted that there was no need to panic. The state dismissed these concerns, describing them as “Western propaganda.”
China has been busy with space projects for a long time. The space station that the Chinese are currently building may soon be the only one. The International Space Station is very old after more than twenty years crowded.
