ESA joins reentry campaign

Early next year, an uncrewed Chinese Space Station, Tiangong-1, is expected to reenter the atmosphere following the end of its operational life, during which most of the craft should burn up. ESA will host a test campaign to follow the reentry, which will be conducted by the Inter Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC). The campaign will see international agencies/organisations pooling their tracking data to improve reentry analysis and predictions for all.
