Today is an important day for China’s space agency. No, the country isn’t launching anything new into space, and in fact, it’s sort of the opposite. The Tiangong-2 space station is coming back down to Earth, and it’s going to do so in pieces.
The China Manned Space Engineering Office announced earlier this week that today is the day that the space lab will reenter Earth’s atmosphere. It will be destroyed in the process, and debris will eventually touch down on Earth. However, unlike its predecessor Tiangong-1, Tiangong-2 will have a planned and control demolition.
