Agency for the development of geoinformatics and space technology (Public body) GISTDA The Space Technology Research Center uses the Space Traffic Management System (ZIRCON) to track and predict autumn. Parts of the Y4 Long March 5B rocket (Longmarch 5B-Y4), who found that parts of the rocket will fall to Earth on Saturday. November 5, 2022 and may affect Thailand Because this space object travels through Thailand every day. (As the graph shows the direction of movement through Thailand) today (November 3) it will orbit between 13:54 and 13:56. Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Phayao, Nan, Nong Khai, Udon Thani, Kalasin, Roi Et, Yasothon, Amnat Charoen, Ubon Ratchathani The space object currently orbits about 177 km above the Earth and weighs about 21.6 tons. will weigh less because some will burn in the atmosphere)
The point that should be the drop point of the rocket parts still need to be closely monitored. And it can only be accurately predicted when space objects are on average less than 130 kilometers from Earth. Therefore, the closer it is to Earth, the more accurate it is). The GISTDA Space Technology Research Center uses the ZIRCON system developed by GISTDA researchers to analyze, track and predict, which meets international standards.
for the operation ofLong March 5 AY 4 This time it happened on Monday, October 31st. bring Mengtian module to Tiankong space station, with the aim of encouraging astronauts to conduct science experiments and research in space, such as fluid physics, materials science, space technology experiments, etc.
However, considering the risk to Thailand to date, the chance of impact is only 1.4%, which is very low.However, GISTDA will monitor the situation and areas at risk of falling for this rocket component 24 hours a day. day and it will keep reporting progress.
