Summary:
A
Brazilian fisherman found a large metal piece of launch debris from a European
satellite. The man found the object floating on the river and he pushed it to
the bank of the river to see what it was. The object belongs to the UK Space Agency
and comes from the Europe’s most sophisticated satellite, which launched from
the neighbouring country of French Guiana last year. A spokeswoman for the UK
Space Agency confirmed the provenance of the debris and explained that the
object probably landed on the Atlantic and then floated inland. Moreover local,
authorities didn’t trust the first calls and they didn’t arrived after the
media first reports.
Opinion:
This
is a strange happening and I would have been very confused if I have been the discoverer
of the object. In my opinion this news are worrying because shows the lack of
control of the pieces they throw. It’s
difficult to believe that this big object floated inland for the river and it’s
strange that the UK Space Agency didn’t recollect the object from the sea.
