Jul 29, 2022 (newstodate): This weekend might be unpleasantly exciting for the global aviation.
   EASA has issued Security Information Bulletin 2022-07 to raise awareness of the expected re-entry into Earth's atmosphere of the Chinese rocket Long March.
   EU Space Surveillance and Tracking experts estimate that the debris generated by the Chinese rocket will likely re-enter the Earth's atmosphere in an uncontrolled way between this coming Saturday and Sunday, July 30-31, 2022.
   The SST predicts various possible reentry trajectories, one of which could affect southern European airspace.
   EASA recommends that National Aviation Authorities, Air Navigation Service Providers and relevant aircraft operators regularly monitor and take into account the latest forecasts for re-entry, and adapt their risk assessments according to the evolution of the situation and available information.
   The Long March 5B rocket launched on July 24, taking the Wentian module to China's Tiangong space station into space.  
   The new module successfully docked with the Tianhe module about 13 hours later, but the rocket's first module, about 53 meters long, entered orbit rather than re-entering Earth's atmosphere.
