What Is Tiangong-1 ?
Tiangong-1 is China's first prototype space station, serving as both a manned laboratory and an experimental testbed to demonstrate orbital rendezvous and docking capabilities.
Launch date : 29 September 2011
Diameter : 3.35 m (11.0 ft)
Length : 10.4 m (34.1 ft)
When Will It Crash ?
China’s prototype space station, Tiangong-1 or “heavenly place”, is falling to Earth and could re-enter the atmosphere as soon.It will re-enter Earth’s atmosphere in 3 to 4 days.China confirmed in 2016 that it had lost contact with Tiangong-1 and could no longer control its behaviour.
It is orbiting at about 27,000km/h, so a crashing point is impossible to predict.
Where will it Crash ?
The satellite can only re-enter within the latitudes of its orbit – 43° North and 43° South,but it does cover much of the Earth, including vast stretches of North and South America, China, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, parts of Europe – and great swaths of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans..The European Space Agency (ESA) said re-entry "will take place anywhere between 43ºN and 43ºS", which covers a vast stretch north and south of the equator.
How will it crash?
The station is gradually coming close to Earth.
Its rate of descent "will continually get faster as the atmosphere that the station is ploughing through gets thicker," Dr Elias Aboutanios, deputy director of the Australian Centre for Space Engineering Research, told the BBC.
