NASA Administrator Sen. Bill Nelson released the following statement
Saturday regarding debris from the Chinese Long March 5B rocket:
“Spacefaring nations must minimize the risks to people and property
on Earth of re-entries of space objects and maximize transparency
regarding those operations.
“It is clear that China is failing to meet responsible standards regarding their space debris.
“It is critical that China and all spacefaring nations and commercial
entities act responsibly and transparently in space to ensure the
safety, stability, security, and long-term sustainability of outer space
activities.”
