We can expect another uncontrolled Long March 5B rocket reentry very soon.
Why does China allow its rocket core stages to perform uncontrolled reentries?
The country's space administration likely sees the risk of damage as low enough not to merit the added cost of fitting extra engines onto its rocket for a controlled deorbit — the most likely outcome is always a reentry over water as the Earth's surface is roughly 70 percent ocean. due to safety concerns as the rocket core stage flew overhead — approximately 300 flights were delayed for 40 minutes, the majority of them from Barcelona's busy international airport, El Prat.The chaos of the situation perfectly highlighted how tricky it is to track orbital rocket debris and provide an accurate estimate for the reentry point.
A piece of SpaceX's Crew-1 Dragon capsule also fell over farmland in Australia earlier this year, having spent roughly 20 months in orbit. In anshortly afterward, Dr. Brad Tucker, an astrophysicist from the Australian National University, said, "we are lucky" the capsule chunk landed in a rural area. It is worth noting that the capsule shard would weigh a lot less than the 21-ton Long March 5B core stage.
