In 2016, China lost control of its space lab Tiangong-1 and now she falls to the Ground. It is assumed that the 8.5-tonne module will enter the atmosphere at the beginning of April over Europe, the USA and Australia, reports Rus.Media.

Experts say the likelihood is high that some number of fragments of the module, as well as highly toxic fuel will not “burn up in the atmosphere and strikes the Earth within a radius of several hundred kilometers.”

Below is a map of where the most likely drop zone Chinese station marked in yellow, green are areas less likely. In the blue zone, the module will not fall, because it is not flying over these areas,

Thus, in the risk zone of North China, the middle East, the Central part of Italy, North of Spain, and the United States, New Zealand, Tasmania, some areas of South America and southern Africa.

“Considering the worst-case scenario, the probability that a particular person will be affected by chip Tiangong-1, about a million times less likely to win the Powerball jackpot”, – is spoken in the message of the Aerospace Corporation.

Station Tiangong-1, or “heavenly Palace”, was launched into orbit in 2011. She had become a “potent political symbol” of China to the rank of a space superpower. In 2016, China admitted that he had lost control of Tiangong-1 and will not be able to perform a controlled landing of the module on the Ground.
