CHRISTOPHER BODEEN Associated Press BEIJING defunct Tiangong 1 space st ation mostly burned up on re-entry into the atmosphere over the central outh Pacific on Monday, Chinese space authorities said. The experimental space laboratory re-entered around 8:15 a.m. Beijing time, the China Manned Space Engineering Office said. Scientists monitoring the disintegrating orbit had forecast the craft would mostly burn up and would pose only the slightest of risks to people. Analysis from the Beijing Aerospace Control Center showed it had mostly burned up.

Brad Tucker, an astrophysicist at Australian National University, said that Tiangong re-entry was and that it would have been better if the space station had not been spinning toward Earth. could have been better, obviously, if it tumbling, but it landed in the Southern Pacific Ocean, and kind of where you hope it would Tucker said. been tumbling and spinning for a while, which means that when it really starts to come down less predictable about what happens to Tucker said. He likened it to an airplane landing, saying more difficult to predict where a plane that is around and will land than one that is smoothly descending. Launched in 2011, Tian gong 1 was first sp ace station, serving as an experimental platform for bigger projects, such as the Tiangong 2 launched in September 2016 and a future permanent Chinese space station.

Two crews of Chinese astronauts lived on the station while testing docking proce dures and other operations. Its last crew departed in 2013 and contact with it was cut in 2016. Since then, it has orbited gradually closer and closer to Earth on its own while being monitored. Earlier forecasts had said that only about 10 percent of the bus-sized, 8.5-ton spacecraft would likely survive re-entry, mainly its heavier components such as its engines. biggest takeaway from this is that as we put more things into space, all countries, we have to be aware that we do have to plan for these sorts of issues that are Tucker said.

Roger Thompson, senior engineering specialist with the Aerospace Corporation in Virginia, said modeling of Tiangong re-entry by monitors in the U.S. had been highly accurate, leaving him feeling about their predictions. believe it was an uncontrolled Thompson said, adding that the own estimate had been just 15 minutes behind the time announced by China. The lack of control was not unusual given that about 15 percent of satellites re-enter the atmosphere prior to the end of their useful lives, he said. The corporation, which provides technical support for the space industry, had not been in touch with the Chinese side about the re-entry, Thompson said.

foreign and defense ministries said the ountry had relayed information about Tiangong return to Earth to the United space agency and others. A mission to land another rover on Mars and bring back samples is set to launch in 2020, while China also plans to become the first country to soft-land a probe on the far side of the moon.
