A large out-of-control Chinese rocket has come down in the Indian Ocean.<\/p>\n

Remnants of the rocket landed west of the Maldives archipelago, Chinese state media said, ending days of speculation of where the Long March 5B rocket\u00a0might land<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The odds of the spacecraft landing on a populated area of the earth were low, and the likelihood of injuries were even lower, according to engineers.<\/p>\n

The potential debris zone could have been as far north as New York, and as far south as Chile, scientists said.<\/p>\n

Last year, the first Long March 5B damaged some buildings\u00a0when it crashed on the Ivory Coast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Most of the rocket\u2019s debris was burnt up in the atmosphere, as it re-entered the planet at 10:24 a.m. Beijing time Sunday, Chinese engineers said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes the Chinese rocket designers look lazy that they didn\u2019t address this,\u201d Harvard-based astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell said of the uncontrolled re-entries.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is common practice across the world for upper stages of rockets to burn up while reentering the atmosphere,\u201d said Wang Wenbin, a spokesman at the Chinese foreign ministry.<\/p>\n

The rocket launched April 29, carrying with it the first module of China\u2019s future space station.<\/p>\n
