BaboutMost of the debris from the stage of China’s Long March-5B rocket, which is expected to fall to Earth over the weekend, will be burned up in the dense layers of the atmosphere. The risk of any damage is “extremely low,” Reuters quoted Wang Wenbin as a statement from China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman.
Earlier, the US military, which is tracking objects in near-earth space, said that the stage has reached an “uncontrolled fall” – it is expected on May 8 or 9. The press controlled by the PRC government wrote that such statements are “the West’s hype” and “exaggeration.”
The head of the Pentagon, Lloyd Austin, said that the military will not shoot down the stage, although they are tracking its trajectory.

A Japanese astronomy fan who goes by the nickname Agena has posted on YouTube a new video with a tumbling stage in a descending orbit, filmed with a Nikon 50mm camera (F1.4). The recording was made on May 5 at 21:38 pm Kiev time. According to him, during the filming, the orbit parameters were as follows: 160 by 283 km.
On April 29, 2021, this rocket delivered the main 22-ton module of the future Chinese station into orbit.
