Chinese Rocket Debris Found in Minnesota
2 min read
A farmer in rural Minnesota found an 11-foot-wide charred metallic circle in his cornfield last week. The debris came from a Zhuque-2E rocket that launched on September 15 and deorbited in September. The launch deployed 10 satellites for the Qianfan constellation. This incident highlights risks as operators hope to have 1,296 satellites by the end of the project's first stage.
