China's First Space Station Will Fall To Earth Within A Few Months!

Tiangong-1 which means “The Heavenly Palace",the China’s first space station is  doomed to plunge into Earth’s atmosphere within the coming few months.

Tiangong-1 a 10.3-meter-long (34-foot-long) space station was launched back in 2011 was used as China’s space-laboratory module, making it a big milestone in their drive to become a science superpower. However its communication links fell silent in March 2016 and its mission was terminated as it completed its tasks.Now it has come to an end

On October 13,Jonathan McDowell,  who is the astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, told the Guardian : “Now that [its] perigee is below 300 kilometers [186 miles] and it is in denser atmosphere, the rate of decay is getting higher,I expect it will come down a few months from now – late 2017 or early 2018,” 

The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) in a statement said Tiangong-1 would plummet into earths atmosphere at some point between October 2017 and April 2018.

“Most of the structural components of Tiangong-1 will be destroyed through burning during the course of its re-entry,The probability of endangering and causing damage to aviation and ground activities is very low.”
