An out-of-control unmanned Chinese space station is expected to plummet to Earth in the next coming months.

But where the parts of the Tiangong-1 that survive reentry will eventually crash-land on the Earth remains unconfirmed. It is expected that between 10 to 40 percent of its mass will survive reentry.
