MANILA, Philippines – Nagbabala ang Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) sa inaasahang debris kasunod ng paglulunsad ng Long March 7A rocket ng China.
”Expected debris from the rocket launch was projected to have fallen within the identified drop zones: approximately 45 NM away from Burgos, Ilocos Norte, and 67 NM away from Dalupiri Island, Cagayan; and 64 NM away from Santa Ana, Cagayan, and 76 NM away from Camiguin Norte,” saad sa abiso ng PhilSA.
Ang drop zones nito ay pasok sa Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) ng Pilipinas.
Ayon sa PhilSA, ang rocket ay inilunsad mula sa Wenchang Space Launch Site sa Wenchang, Hainan bandang 6:40 ng umaga ng Disyembre 31.
”While not projected to fall on land features or inhabited areas, falling debris poses danger and potential risk to ships, aircraft, fishing boats, and other vessels that will pass through the drop zone.”
”Additionally, the possibility of an uncontrolled re-entry to the atmosphere of the rocket’s upper stages returning from outer space cannot be ruled out at this time,” ayon pa sa PhilSA. RNT/JGC
