“According to preliminary estimates, we are talking about entering the atmosphere of one of the space objects previously in orbit. According to international organizations that track the movement of cosmic garbage, three events were really registered in this period of time, each of which could potentially cause the observed effect,” the department said.
It is reported that the cause of the radiance could be the acceleration block of the Chinese missile ZHUQUE-2 ENHANCED (ZQ-2E), the planned STARLINK-1631 (SpaceX) or an accelerated block of the Japanese rocket H-2A R/B.
The ministry is inclined to the first option, because it most accurately coincides in all indicators. The ZHUQUE-2 ENHANCED missed Landspace on May 17. She entered the atmosphere on June 5 at about 22.40 in the time of Astana. For a rocket, ecological fuel (liquid methane and oxygen) is used, with the combustion of which is characterized by a large -scale glow, similar to a fixed one.
“At the moment, there are no confirmed data on the fall of any fragments in the Republic of Kazakhstan or damage. As a rule, such objects are in the atmosphere in the atmosphere (the fall of large objects in Kazakhstan is unlikely), and the phenomenon itself is a spectacular but safe process,” the department was assumed to maintain calm and focus only on official officials Sources “.
