China’s ‘defunct space station’ hurtling back toward earth
Most of the craft expected to burn up during reentry. "The chances of any one person being hit by debris are considered less than one in a trillion."
The European Space Agency forecast that the station, whose name translates as “Heavenly Palace,” will re-enter sometime between Sunday night and early Monday GMT. The Chinese space agency said it should happen during the course of Monday Beijing time.
The Aerospace Corp. predicted Tiangong 1’s re-entry would take place within 2 hours of either side of 0018 GMT Monday (8:18 p.m. Sunday EDT.)
