Live seuranta: https://www.n2yo.com/?s=41765VUONNA 2018 TIANGONG-2 alkoi alentaa kiertorataansa valmistautuakseen operaation päättymiseen. Tänään se käynnistää jälleen rakettimoottorinsa, ja laskeutuu Tyynellemerelle.
Suurin osa 18 metriä leveästä asemasta todennäköisesti palaa ilmakehään tullessaan, mutta pieniä määriä romua voi pudota Etelä-Tyynenmereen.

hyvää yötäChina’s Tiangong-2 space station is officially no more
Chinese space station Tiangong-2 has officially ended its mission, and the orbital research facility’s entire existence. The platform de-orbited and burned up as planned at just after 9 AM ET on Friday, coming down over the South Pacific Ocean, as confirmed by the official Chinese space agency.
The station weighed around nine U.S. tons at the time it re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere, but even so it was small enough that it almost entirely burned up in the process. Tiangong-2 was relatively small for a space station (when measured against the ISS), consisting of just a research module with enough space on board for only two astronauts.
After about 1,000 days in space, Tiangong-2 had exceeded its planned lifespan, and China’s space agency planned this de-orbit — in contrast to Tiangong-1’s de-orbit last year, which was not planned (though ultimately not a risk to anyone on the ground, either). Both of these, and the forthcoming Tiangong-3, are intended as temporary orbital stations designed for testing key technologies in pursuit of the “real” Chinese space station — which is set to begin its mission life in 2020 with the launch of the Tianhe-1 core module.
