Debris from a Chinese rocket is expected to crash to Earth in an uncontrolled re-entry this weekend.
The probability of it landing in any populated area is extremely low.
But it has raised questions about how different countries take responsibility for their space junk.
There have previously been calls by Nasa for the Chinese space agency to design their rockets to disintegrate into smaller pieces upon re-entry, as is the international norm.
Recent rockets heading to China's unfinished space station, known as Tiangong, have lacked the capability for a controlled re-entry.
