briefly shuts part of airspace on Friday"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Spain briefly closed the airspace over the northeastern region of Catalonia and three other regions on Friday, causing delays to around 300 flights, as remnants of a Chinese rocket passed by before hitting the ocean off Mexico&#8217;s coast, authorities said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Due to the risk associated with the passage of the space object CZ-5B through the Spanish airspace, flights have been totally restricted from 9:38 a.m. to 10:18 a.m. in Catalonia and other communities,&#8221; Catalonia&#8217;s emergency service said on its Twitter account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Spanish airport operator Aena, 300 flights out of the 5,484 scheduled to operate on Friday in its 46 Spanish airports were delayed due to air traffic restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2022\/10\/level-resumes-flights-barcelona-santiago-chile.html\">LEVEL resumes flights between Barcelona and Santiago, Chile.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>China Manned Space agency said remnants from China&#8217;s most powerful rocket, the Long March 5B, re-entered the atmosphere at 6:08 p.m. Beijing time, with most of them burning up and the rest touching down in the Pacific Ocean with coordinates 101.9 degrees west, 9.9 degrees north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is almost 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) southwest of Acapulco in Mexico, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/lifestyle\/science\/spain-briefly-closes-part-airspace-chinese-rocket-debris-flies-over-2022-11-04\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Reuters <\/a>reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rocket, Long March 5B, lifted off Oct. 31 from southern China to deliver the final module for China&#8217;s space station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was the rocket&#8217;s fourth flight since its maiden launch in May 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On its first deployment, fragments of the rocket&#8217;s boosters landed on the Ivory Coast, damaging several buildings in the West African nation, though no injuries were reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Debris from the second flight landed harmlessly in the Indian Ocean, while remnants from the third fell into the Sulu Sea in the Philippines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>rocket&#8217;s re-entry into the atmosphere is a common international practice, Zhao Lijian, a spokesperson at the Chinese foreign ministry, said at a regular briefing on Friday when asked if China had taken measures to reduce the risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zhao said the probability of causing harm to aviation activities and the ground was &#8220;extremely low&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid
