Delta Rockets Crash In Mongolia
News reports out of Mongolia have been circulating with a little tiny picture of the wreckage found in the desert. At first, residents around the crash site reported meteors overhead. Some speculation started swirling about whether the wreckage could be a Delta rocket.
Most people in the know were skeptical of the claim; wreckage like this doesn’t typically fall on the ground, even in a huge desert. But sure enough, when the specialists showed up at the Buren Soum, Tuv Province, site.
According to a team comprising specialists from defense, emergency and astrology, who inspected the object, the two objects described by local people as meteoroids, were parts of U.S delivery rocket Delta-2.
In particular, it was a liquid fuel tank of the rocket that was launched on September 25, 2009 from the Cape Canaveral’s station in Florida, the United States. The stainless steel object was 7.5-meter in diameter and had a number seal “02728” on it.
This isn’t comforting, I assumed that NASA was keeping track of all this space junk.
