Aerospace Corp., a federally-funded non-profit, projects that the core will land in the Pacific Ocean near the Equator after passing over several East Coast cities in the United States, including Philadelphia. The company s online tracker predicts the crash will occur May 8 around 11:34 p.m. local time.
The exact location of reentry will not be known until within hours of the eventual crash.
China s space agency has not publicly commented on the status of the rocket core, but the Global Times newspaper published by the Chinese Communist party has claimed the debris is made of lightweight materials that will burn up in the atmosphere and pose minimal risk.
Following the release of the 2020 strategic update and force structure plan, Australia’s defence organisation is taking some important steps forward in how it approaches the prospect of military operations in space.
There’s now a ‘space domain review’ underway within the Department of Defence in response to the organisation’s move to recognise space as a full operational warfighting domain, which is due for completion by the end of 2021. The question being considered is how the Australian Defence Force will operate in space, encompassing everything from strategy and force posture to capability development and organisational structures.
