Update<\/u>:\u00a0<\/strong>Early Sunday it’s been confirmed that China’s huge Long March 5B rocket made its out-of-control entry and\u00a0plunged into the Indian Ocean Saturday night near the Maldives<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

China’s Manned Space Engineering Office sought to emphasize in an announcement that most of it burned up\u00a0when it reentered the atmosphere before coming down somewhere west of the Maldives – the nation of archipelagic islands which lies southwest of Sri Lanka and India, some 700 kilometers off the Asian continent.<\/p>\n

US Space Command also confirmed it had reentered Earth over the Arabian Peninsula. NASA immediately blasted China for\u00a0failing to\u00a0“meet responsible standards”<\/strong>\u00a0of space activity and operations.\u00a0“Spacefaring nations must minimize the risks to people and property on Earth of re-entries of space objects and maximize transparency regarding those operations,”\u00a0NASA Administrator Sen. Bill Nelson in\u00a0a statement published early Sunday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“China is failing to meet responsible standards regarding their space debris,”<\/strong>\u00a0Nelson added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
