One of the possible routes of fall of the Chinese rocket passes through Fuerteventura.

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has warned that the remains of a Chinese rocket, launched this Sunday, July 24, may fall on European territory this weekend, Fuerteventura is on one of the possible fall routes, but also many parts of the world, as indicated by the photo illustrating this article.

 

The experts of the Surveillance and Satellite Tracking service of the European Union (SST) have estimated that the foreseeable thing is that the remains of the rocket will fall next Sunday, July 31, around 1:24 a.m. in the Canary Islands in an area still unconfirmed, but they establish a margin of error of 16 hours ahead and behind.

 

According to Space, most of the rocket will burn before entering Earth's atmosphere, but a portion of it can make landfall. It is estimated that they can be parts of the propellant, which can weigh between five and ten tons, which can end up impacting the ground.

 

However, you have to remain calm, since the probability that these remains can affect someone are very low. Specifically, there are only six chances out of every 10 billion of it happening. 75% of the surface of the planet that is in the potential path of the rocket to Earth is water, desert or jungle, so the most normal thing is that no one is affected by the impact of these remains on our planet.

 
There's a "9


9.5% chance that nothing will happen," said Ted Muelhaupt, a consultant in The Aerospace Corporation's Office of chief corporate engineer, during a discussion about the upcoming Long March 5B crash. "Personally, if this comes to mind, I'd run out with a camera to see it, because I think it would be more of a visual [opportunity] than a real risk," Added.
