This is the first space station in China called "Tiangong-1." According to scientists, the station will fall to the ground in 21 days.

This was stated by Aerospace Corporation. Experts of the corporation note that the station module weighing 8.5 tons, most likely, will not burn when passing through the atmosphere. Although the exact place of the fall can not yet be determined, scientists are sure that it will be the USA, the center of Europe, the Middle East or the north of China. On board the station there is a stock of extremely toxic fuel. Experts reassure that the chances of suffering from a wreck are low, it's like "winning the lottery".

The launch of "TianGong-1" was positioned as a symbol of the country's transformation into a cosmic superpower. However, as early as 2016, China recognized that the station was out of control and it was not possible to make a controlled landing.
