2021 The Chinese rocket that went out of control was the one that put the world on edge in May. The Chinese rocket lost control and crashed in the Indian Ocean 900 miles off Kerala. The Chinese space agency says the rocket went out of control in the western part of the Maldives at around 8am on May 9 last year. Now here’s the latest news is that another Chinese rocket is flying out of control in space, but it will not crash into Earth. The rocket is expected to crash into the moon soon.
It is estimated that part of the Chinese rocket will fall to the moon in early March. Earlier, some researchers said that this was Elon Musk’s SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. But the new discovery is that it is part of a Chinese rocket. On March 4, a Chinese rocket may land on the lunar surface. Launched in 2014 as part of the Chinese space agency’s lunar exploration program, the Changi 5-T1 booster 2014-065B is now out of control and orbiting the Moon and Earth.
The unexpected announcement was made by scientist Bill Gray. He has also openly admitted that he was wrong to say earlier that he was a Space X rocket. At the same time, the US space agency NASA is preparing to study the events that occur when a Chinese rocket hits the lunar surface and the changes it causes. Cameras on NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) will film the rocket crashing into the moon.
At the same time, researchers had already studied the speed of the SpaceX rocket when Bill Gray predicted it. According to their calculations, after the discussion of this post, many researchers have studied the path of the rocket and come to the conclusion that Gray’s discovery is correct. The rocket, which weighs 4 metric tons, is reported to have landed on the opposite side of the moon. Researchers predict a collision in March. The rocket will land on the moon at a speed of 2.58 km per second.

Earlier it was announced that part of the Falcon 9 rocket launched in SpaceX 2015 would land on the moon. Bill Gray, an independent researcher in orbital dynamics, has discovered that the remaining part of the rocket may have crashed into the lunar surface. He himself has rectified this matter.
Some researchers say that this is not the case. They believe that the lunar surface will not be significantly damaged by the collision. But Gray said in his blog post that the crash would create a new crater on the moon and that it would be the first time space debris had crashed into the moon.
