If anyone sees unburned rocket debris from China’s Long March 7A, which was launched on Monday from the Wenchang Space Launch Center on Hainan Island, they are advised to contact the authorities.

According to PhilSA, the debris will likely fall in two drop zones.

Drop zone area 2 is located 41.686 kilometers from Sta. Ana, Cagayan, 41.37 kilometers from Camiguin Island in the Babuyan Islands, and 47.844 kilometers from Babuyan Island. Drop zone area 1 is located 79.877 kilometers from Burgos, Ilocos Norte, and 121.306 kilometers from Dalupiri Island in the Babuyan Islands.

Prior to this, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines informed airmen of potentially disrupted air navigation routes and offered them other routes.

Unburned rocket parts like the booster and faring are intended to be thrown away as the rocket enters space, according to a PhilSA guideline.

Even though it is not anticipated to hit any land features or populated areas, it warned that passing ships, planes, fishing boats, and other vessels could be in danger.

Marc Talampas, director of PhilSA’s Space Technology Missions & Systems Bureau, stated at a news conference last year that it is predicted that debris may fall onto Philippine coastal seas whenever a rocket is launched from the Wenchang Space Launch Center.

Typically, he said, debris would reach coastal waters after a rocket launch in a matter of minutes.

In the past, according to Talampas, fishers would discover the wreckage a day or more after a rocket launch.

The debris could wash toward nearby shores and float throughout the area. At this point, it is not possible to exclude an uncontrolled re-entry of the rocket’s upper stages into the atmosphere, the PhilSA said.

According to Paul Leonard Hilario, a researcher with the PhilSA, locating the debris will help scientists determine how accurate their estimates of the drop zones are.

In the meanwhile, the general public is cautioned from removing or coming into close contact with these objects because they might still contain dangerous compounds, such as rocket fuel, in small amounts.

Hilario advised them to immediately wash their hands if they unintentionally touched it.
