Out-of-control space station expected to burn up upon reentry from as early as March 24 within latitude that generally includes Arab region.

The out of control Chinese space station which weighs 8.5 Ton is expected to crash into earth around 24 March 2018, But the experts are not sure where exactly it would fall. The fall is expected to take place in areas between 43°North and 43°South latitude, which include most of the Arab region.

Launched in September 2011, Tiangong 1 (Chinese for "heavenly palace") was China's first prototype space station, serving as both a manned laboratory and an experimental testbed to demonstrate orbital rendezvous and docking.

The Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA) extended the spacecraft's life for two years until they lost telemetry in March 2016.
