Debris from China’s Long March 5V rocket (the size of a 10-story building) will fall to Earth on July 31

A massive unguided rocket booster is predicted to return to Earth this Sunday (July 31)

⠀
It is also likely that at least some of the debris will be large enough to survive the descent and crash into our planet.

⠀

The booster is 53.6 meters long and weighs about 23 metric tons. It belongs to a recently launched Chinese rocket.

⠀

The good news is that the chances of this final descent causing significant damage are rather low. The bad news is that at the moment we don’t have a clear idea of ​​where the rocket booster is likely to crash.

⠀

Researchers around the world are working hard to understand this part. So far, they are almost certain that re-entry will occur on July 31, 2022.
