Agency said, “the agency has confirmed the debris is from a SpaceX mission and continues to engage with our counterparts in the US, as well as other parts of the commonwealth and local authorities as appropriate”.
He expects there will be more people coming forward with debris “over the coming weeks to months to even years” now that people know the disintegration occurred in the area. Tucker said the likely scenario, in his opinion, is that given there was no damage, it won’t have to involve inter-governmental payments, unlike when aTechnical experts from the Australian Space Agency confirmed the objects are part of Elon Musk’s SpaceX program.Because it was nuclear powered, it cost Canada millions of dollars to clean up, Tucker said. Canada demanded C$6m in compensation from the USSR, of which they eventually received about half.
Dr Sara Webb, an astrophysicist at Swinburne University, explains it’s also possible the debris could have bounced around and bounced further away from where it had initially landed.Webb says one of the best examples of this effect is theof 1908: “this was an insanely massive meteorite that came over the Siberian forest.
