Chinese space station will crash to Earth within months
China's National Space Administration has notified the UN that its 8.5-tonne space station, Tiangong-1, will crash to the Earth between October 2017 and April 2018. Chinese officials confirmed that they had lost control of the space station last year and added that it has begun its descent. Tiangong-1 was launched in 2011 and had hosted several unmanned and manned missions.
