China's first space station 'out of control'
Chinese space authorities have confirmed they have lost control of the country's first space station 'Tiangong-1', which is expected to crash into Earth's atmosphere in 2017. Most of the 8.5-tonne-station's parts are predicted to burn during the fall. The station, launched in 2011, was used as a testbed for technologies that will be used in China's large modular space station.
