BEIJING, China -- Chinese space authorities say the defunct Tiangong 1 mostly burned up upon re-entering the Earth's atmosphere in the central South Pacific.
The China Manned Space Engineering Office says on its website the experimental space lab re-entered at around 8:15 a.m. Monday. Tiangong 1 was launched in 2011 and ended service in 2016 after completing its mission.
