Rocket Debris Crashing Onto Earth This Weekend - What Will Happen?

This weekend, debris from a Chinese rocket is set to re-enter the atmosphere in an unregulated manner.

As part of China's highly ambitious space program, it carried the main module for a new permanent space station.

Before the station's completion in 2022, Beijing expects at least ten more parallel missions, sending all additional equipment into space.

China also intends to collaborate with Russia on the construction of a lunar station.

When it comes to space exploration, the nation has been a late starter, sending its first astronaut into space only in 2003, decades after the Soviet Union and the United States.
