Tiangong 1: Out of control Chinese space station about to fall to Earth,
expert says

Engineers lost contact with the space laboratory last year, and has been
gradually falling back to Earth ever since

An out-of-control space laboratory is falling towards the Earth and will
crash land soon, experts say.

The Chinese space station is accelerating its fall towards us and will
reach the ground in the coming months, Harvard astrophysicist Jonathan
McDowell told the Guardian. It is decaying quickly and he expects "expect
it will come down a few months from now – late 2017 or early 2018", he told
the paper.

The Tiangong 1 station was launched in 2011 as one of the great hopes of
the Chinese ambitions in space, and as part of a plan to show itself off as
a global superpower. The country's space agency referred to the station as
the "Heavenly Palace" and conducted a range of missions, some of which
included astronauts.
