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.
Nasa has confirmed that a heavy metal chunk that crashed into a Florida home was space junk from a cargo pallet released from the international space station in 2021. The debris, weighing 1.6lb and measuring about 4in by 1.6in, was supposed to be destroyed in Earth's atmosphere but instead crashed through a Florida home. Nasa will investigate how the debris survived re-entry and "update modeling and analysis," but it's unclear if they will cover the cost of damages to the homeowner's property.
A piece of hardware from the International Space Station's discarded battery pallet survived reentry and crashed through a Florida home, prompting a NASA investigation and potential legal action from the homeowner.
