BEIJING: The chances of the Long March 5B rocket’s debris causing harm are extremely remote, according to the foreign ministry in Beijing, which is closely monitoring the rocket’s remains after it was launched over the weekend.
After remaining silent regarding the predicted debris trajectory of a Long March 5B rocket and its entrance window last year, China was criticized for being secretive.
As part of the development of a Chinese space station, China’s most potent rocket was launched for the third time on Sunday since its initial flight in 2020.
According to the foreign ministry, this type of rocket uses a unique technical design, and the majority of its components will be destroyed upon entry.
