The moment a Chinese rocket appeared in the Ibizan skies

The European Union Space Surveillance and Tracking service said that debris from today´s rocket would most probably re-enter Earth's atmosphere in the middle of the Atlantic and would likely land in the sea.

"The statistical probability of an impact on the ground in populated areas is low," the EUSST said. "These predictions however come with uncertainties, and a better estimation will only be possible close to the re-entry." It was the fourth flight of the Long March 5B since its maiden launch in May 2020.
