"NASA Confirms Space Junk from ISS Crashes Through Florida Home"

NASA confirmed that the object that crashed through a Florida home's roof in March was debris from the International Space Station, specifically a piece of a cargo pallet of depleted batteries jettisoned in 2021. The 1.6-pound debris, identified as a stanchion from NASA flight support equipment, survived re-entry and impacted the home. NASA will investigate the cause of the debris survival and update modeling and analysis as needed.
