The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) confirmed Monday that the object that crashed through a Florida home was indeed space debris, ABC News reported.
NASA has announced that the space debris that crashed a Florida home in March was a space debris originating from the International Space Station (ISS), according to ABC News. The incident, which involved a cylindrical piece of metal, has since been under thorough investigation by space experts.
The object, identified as a metal support previously used to mount old batteries on a cargo pallet, was part of the station’s waste disposal routine, ABC reported. This pallet was jettisoned back in 2021, and while the load was expected to disintegrate upon re-entering Earth’s atmosphere, this particular piece survived.
