BEIJING (Reuters) - China’s manned space lab Tiangong-2 has finished experiments and will re-enter Earth’s atmosphere on July 19, authorities said on Saturday.
A small amount of debris is likely to fall into the designated safe waters of the South Pacific Ocean, the China Manned Space Engineering Office said in a statement.
China launched Tiangong-2 on September 15, 2016, after Tiangong-1, its first manned space lab.
