PhilSA issues rocket debris warning
The Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) has issued a warning to residents in northern Luzon, specifically Ilocos Norte and Cagayan, regarding potential debris from China's Long March 7A rocket launch.
The projected debris drop zones are located approximately 44 to 75 nautical miles off the coasts of these provinces.
The Long March 7A rocket was launched from China's Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan.
PhilSA disseminated information about the potential drop zones through a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM).
While direct impact on inhabited areas is not expected, the debris poses a risk to ships and aircraft in the vicinity.
The public is advised against retrieving or coming into close contact with any suspected debris due to potential toxic substances from rocket fuel.
The Philippine Coast Guard is investigating reports of rocket debris found along the shoreline of Camiguin Island in Calayan, Cagayan.
