A large segment of a Chinese rocket is expected to make an uncontrolled re-entry into the Earth s atmosphere early Sunday, but Beijing has downplayed fears of damage on the ground and said the risk is very low.
A Long March-5B rocket launched the first module of China s new space station into Earth s orbit on April 29.
