BEIJING: The Tianzhou-7 cargo craft, tasked with carrying supplies for China’s space station, separated from the station combination on Sunday, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
According to Qatar News Agency, the cargo craft will re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere in a controlled manner soon. Most of its components will burn up and be destroyed during the process, while a small number of debris will fall into designated safe waters in the South Pacific, the CMSA said.
The CMSA plans to conduct a total of two cargo supply missions in 2024, including Tianzhou-7 and Tianzhou-8.
