2.12: Tiangong-1 begins re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere

The now defunct Chinese space station began its descent at 1.30am GMT.

However, it is worth noting that The Aerospace Corporation estimate could have a margin of error of 1.7 hours plus or minus.

The corporation declared: “Chances that space debris will hurt anybody are extremely slim, although when and where the space station’s remains will land is still unknown.”
