NASA administrator Sen. Bill Nelson has criticized China for "failing to meet responsible standards" for its space debris.
News of debris from the Chinese Long March 5B rocket was met with disapproval when experts projected that it would likely re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and crash.

NASA, the US space agency, castigated China for failing to meet "responsible standards regarding its space debris" after remnants of a Chinese rocket plunged into the Indian Ocean.
"Spacefaring nations must minimize the risks to people and property on Earth of re-entries of space objects and maximize transparency regarding those operations," CNN quoted NASA Administrator Senator Bill Nelson's statement.
"China is failing to meet responsible standards regarding their space debris," he added.
Remnants of China's biggest rocket landed in the Indian Ocean on Sunday.

European Space Agency predicts vast 'risk zone' for rocket reentry
The European Space Agency has slightly narrowed down the trajectory of the Chinese rocket set to reenter Earth sometime this weekend, CNN reports.
Its "risk zone" encompasses "any portion of Earth's surface between about 41.5N and 41.5S latitude." Several parts of the world fall under that categorization, including essentially all of the Americas south of New York, all of Africa and Australia, parts of Asia south of Japan and Europe's Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece, CNN notes.

Out-of-control Chinese rocket plunges to Earth, debris splashes down in Indian Ocean
BEIJING, China — An out-of-control Chinese rocket plunged out of orbit Saturday night and re-entered Earth's atmosphere, according to China's space agency.
The Long March 5B carrier rocket had an estimated landing area of 72.47°E longitude and 2.65°N latitude, just west of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean, China's National Space Agency said in a post on WeChat.
Most of the rocket was "destroyed" on re-entry to the atmosphere, the space agency said. It was unclear if any debris had landed on the atoll nation.
The rocket, which is about 108 feet tall and weighs nearly 40,000 pounds, had launched a piece of a new Chinese space station into orbit on April 29. After its fuel was spent, the rocket had been left to hurtle through space uncontrolled until Earth's gravity dragged it back to the ground.

The entire world watched with baited breath as debris from an out-of-control Chinese rocket likely plunged into the Indian Ocean, just west of the Maldives, on Saturday (08) night.
Most of the huge Long March 5B rocket, however, burned up on reentering the atmosphere, the China Manned Space Engineering Office said.
It was unclear if any debris had landed on the atoll nation.
The US Space Command said the Long March 5B had reentered Earth over the Arabian Peninsula.
The rocket, which is about 108 feet tall and weighs nearly 40,000 pounds, had launched a piece of a new Chinese space station into orbit on April 29.
