Un déchet de la station spatiale s’écrase sur une maison en Floride

un déchet de la station spatiale s’écrase sur une maison en floride

Si le phénomène reste rare, ce n’est pas la première fois qu’un débris spatial fait des dégâts sur Terre.

Après analyses, le scénario supposé par la Nasa est confirmé : l’objet de près d’un kilo qui a transpercé le toit d’une maison en Floride au mois de mars a bien été perdu par la Station spatiale internationale.

N’en déplaise aux chasseurs d’Ovni, l’objet venu du ciel qui avait transpercé la maison d’un habitant de la ville de Naples en Floride, le 8 mars 2024, arrivait bien de la Station spatiale internationale (ISS). Après avoir mené des analyses en avril, la NASA a confirmé que l’objet vient d’une cargaison de vieilles batteries, des déchets relâchés de l’ISS en 2021 pourtant prévu pour rentrer dans l’atmosphère « sans danger ».

En conséquence, l’agence fédérale américaine mène l’enquête, depuis son centre spatial Kennedy, pour savoir pourquoi ce débris de métaux, de 700 grammes environ, n’avait pas été entièrement détruit dans l’atmosphère.

D’autres incidents du même type

Si le phénomène reste rare, ce n’est pas la première fois qu’un débris spatial fait des dégâts sur Terre. En principe, les fragments entrant dans l’atmosphère sont vaporisés par la chaleur due aux frottements avec l’air. Quelques exemples : en janvier 1997, dans un parc de Tulsa dans l’Oklahoma, une femme a, par exemple, été touchée à l’épaule par une pièce métallique de 15 cm d’un réservoir d’une fusée Delta II, heureusement sans être blessée. Plus récemment, en 2022, les autorités australiennes avaient également confirmé qu’un débris spatial carbonisé, tombé dans un enclos à moutons, provenait d’un appareil de SpaceX. Des rentrées incontrôlées dans l’atmosphère qui font dire à la Nasa qu’elle n’exclut pas de devoir changer ses pratiques. Toutefois, personne n’a jamais été blessé ou tué par des débris spatiaux.
