Tiangong-2, a manned Chinese space station, was destroyed upon its controlled re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean on July 19.
About:
Tiangong-2 was launched on September 15, 2016 and, in late 2016, hosted two Chinese astronauts for 30 days in what was China’s longest manned space mission so far.
China had never intended this space lab to be a permanent post in space. Tiangong-2 was retired from service after it had completed its experiments in space.
Most of Tiangong-2 burnt up in the atmosphere, and the remaining debris fell near Point Nemo, the most remote location on Earth.
The recently decommissioned space lab followed the Tiangong-1, China’s first space station, which crashed into the southern Pacific Ocean in April 2018.
