Debris from a rocket that boosted part of China's new space station into orbit has fallen into the sea in the Philippines, the Chinese government has announced.
The China Manned Space Agency said most of the final stage of the Long March-5B rocket burned up after entering the atmosphere.The location of the"landing area" cited by the announcement is in waters southeast of the Philippine city of Puerto Princesa on the island of Palawan.. Nasa accused Beijing last year of"failing to meet responsible standards regarding their space debris" after parts of a Chinese rocket plummeted into the Indian Ocean.
