Chinese Space Station Expected to Crash to Earth Monday

China's falling space station is expected to crash to Earth on Monday.

According to the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute on Sunday, the doomed Tiangong-1 is expected to fall to Earth between 7:26 a.m. and 3:26 p.m. Monday.

The ministry pushed back the re-entry time by up to three hours from its previous projection made on Saturday afternoon.

It is uncertain where the defunct station will land, with the possible areas including Asia, Africa, the Pacific and the southern Atlantic Ocean.

The ministry said it will be able to predict the exact spot where the station will crash two hours before it impacts Earth.
