China’s CZ-5B Heavy-Lift Vehicle Re-entry Expected Over Mediterranean on Sunday

Moscow, May 9 (Sputnik) - The spent stage of China’s Long March 5B (Chang Zheng 5B, or CZ-5B) rocket that launched with the first module for the country’s orbital station last month is expected to re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere over the Mediterranean on Sunday, according to the latest estimates from the US Air Force.
China launched the Long March 5B carrier rocket with the main module (Tianhe, or "Harmony of the Heavens") for China's future orbital station at the end of April. Tianhe will be the control hub for the Tiangong (or "Heavenly Palace") orbital station that China wants to finish assembling by 2022.
The spent CZ-5B rocket stage is expected to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere on May 9 around 02:11 GMT over the Mediterranean Sea near the island of Crete, the latest US Air Force estimates published by Space-Track.org show.
