BERLIN (AP) — China’s defunct Tiangong 1 space station is hurtling toward Earth and expected to re-enter the atmosphere within the next day.
Most of it should burn up on re-entry, so scientists say it poses only a slight risk to people on the ground.
The European Space Agency on Sunday forecast the station will re-enter sometime between Sunday night and early Monday GMT.
The Aerospace Corp. predicted re-entry seven hours either side of 0200 GMT Monday (10 p.m. Sunday EDT).
