Tiangong-1 space station crashes to Earth, narrowly misses Tahiti

(INTELLIHUB) — The Chinese Tiangong-1 space station splashed down to Earth in the South Pacific at 17,000 mph Sunday evening, narrowly missing Tahiti.

An analysis conducted by the Beijing Aerospace Control Center showed that the defunct craft mostly burnt up in the atmosphere during its descent.

The nine ton craft was approximately the size of a school bus and may have caused major damage if it hit a populated area.

Chinese space station will fall to Earth on Easter, latest calculations show

(INTELLIHUB) — The falling Chinese space station Tiangong-1 is set to impact Earth 43°N and 43°S longitude on Easter Day around noon Eastern time, plus or minus 9-hous or so, according to data released by the Aerospace Corp.

Fireballs and debris are expected to rain down on a random swath of the planet, experts warn.

Chinese space station will fall to Earth in just a few days: Head’s up

(INTELLIHUB) — The Chinese space station Tiangong-1 may come crashing down to Earth in the next week along with fireballs and a large swath of the planet is in the crosshairs.

Intellihub founder Shepard Ambellas gave the grim news on his radio show Tuesday, when he told the audience about the threat to human life.

“This Tiangong-1 is expected to crash into the Earth this week,” Ambellas said “It can reenter Earths atmosphere anywhere between 43°N longitude to 43°S longitude.”

Out Of Control Chinese Space Station Carrying Toxic Waste Will Crash To Earth In Days

China’s first prototype station, Tiangong-1, will come crashing back to Earth between March 29 and April 9, experts say. The space station is carrying toxic waste, and it’s still unknown where Tiangong-1 will actually hit once it falls back to the planet.

The Chinese space station is said to be errant and out of control while carrying extremely hazardous toxic waste.  The problem is that the space station is going to crash into the Earth within the next 21 days, and experts have no idea where it’s going to land.

According to The Daily Mail, the doomed 8.5-tonne craft, which has been hurtling towards Earth since control was lost in 2016, is believed to contain dangerous hydrazine. Agencies around the world who have been monitoring its descent believe it has a higher chance of hitting Europe, the US, Australia, and New Zealand. However, no one really knows where it’s most likely to actually impact.

Tiangong, which translates to “heavenly palace,” is being closely monitored by the European Space Agency (ESA), based in Paris and their Space Debris Office in Darmstadt, Germany, and were able to make the prediction that the space station will hit Earth earlier this week.

In recent days Aerospace, a US research organization that advises government and private enterprise on space flight also updated its re-entry window. It said the space station will enter the Earth’s atmosphere on April 3, give or take a week. “Every couple of years something like this happens, but Tiangong-1 is big and dense so we need to keep an eye on it,” Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist from Harvard University told the Guardian. 

While most of it will burn up during re-entry, around 10 to 40 percent of the satellite is expected to survive as debris, and some parts may contain dangerous hydrazine. However, due to changing conditions in space, it is not possible to accurately predict where the module will land. “It is only in the final week or so that we are going to be able to start speaking about it with more confidence,” said D. McDowell. “I would guess that a few pieces will survive re-entry. But we will only know where they are going to land after after the fact.”

In recent months, the spacecraft has been speeding up and it is now falling by around 6km (3.7 miles) a week. In October it was falling at 1.5km (0.9 miles) a week.

Heads-up: Massive Chinese space station drifting, falling, “uncontrolled” back to Earth after contact lost, toxic propellant on board

There is a 1-in-10,000 chance the space station will hit a densely populated area when it comes crashing down sometime in March, experts warn

(INTELLIHUB) — A massive 19,000-pound Chinese space station named Tiangong-1 is expected to come crashing back down to Earth sometime in March and has a 1-in-10,000 chance of hitting a densely populated area, experts warn.

The Chinese lost control of the space lab in 2016 and it has been adrift ever since in a continuously exponential kinetic decent.

ABC News reports: “Scientists have only been able to narrow the crash zone down to between the 43° North and 43° South latitudes; an area that still includes parts of every inhabited continent on Earth.”

A highly-toxic propellant is on board.

Russia And The US Work Together To Build A Space Station In The Lunar Orbit

 Maybe all is finally forgiven in the ongoing battle to constantly turn the narrative back to the Russian election meddling, as the former Soviet Union and the United States attempt to work together to build a manned space station which orbits the moon.

Part of this long-term project to send humans to Mars, the NASA-led program will see the two countries working together to create a crewed spaceport in lunar orbit. The proposed crew-tended spaceport will orbit the moon and serve as a “gateway to deep space and the lunar surface.”

Russian and the US have agreed to put their heads together to make the new mission possible. The US space agency said earlier this year that it was exploring a program called the Deep Space Gateway, a multi-stage project to push further into the solar system.

While George W. Bush wanted to see humans on the moon again by 2020, Barack Obama scrapped that plan and focused his intention on plans to visit Mars, including a mission to test the necessary technology by capturing a boulder from the surface of an asteroid and bringing it into lunar orbit. Now with the Donald Trump at the helm, asteroid missions are no longer a top priority. The Trump administration wants to see a spaceport orbiting the moon, crewed visits to the lunar surface are once again on the menu.

Plans to return to the moon have waxed and waned depending on the US administration. NASA, however, has even bigger plans. The organization has ambitious intentions to send humans to orbit Mars by the 2030s, and subsequent plans to colonize the red planet.

On Wednesday the Russian space agency Roscosmos announced that a cooperation agreement had been signed at an astronautical congress in Adelaide.“The partners intend to develop international technical standards which will be used later, in particular to create a space station in lunar orbit,” the Russian agency said in a statement. The Russians and Americans would cooperate to build the systems needed to organise scientific missions in lunar orbit and to the surface of the moon, the agency added. “Roscosmos and Nasa have already agreed on standards for a docking unit of the future station. Taking into account the country’s extensive experience in developing docking units, the station’s future elements will be created using Russian designs.” –The Guardian

“To avoid future problems over technical cooperation, part of the standards should be unified – for a possibility for various countries to work on their craft and dock to the international lunar station,” Igor Komarov, Roscosmos’ general director was quoted as saying in the statement.

Russia and the United States also discussed using Moscow’s Proton-M and Angara rockets to help create the infrastructure of the lunar spaceport, the statement said, adding that the main works were scheduled to begin in the mid-2020s.
