Debris believed to be parts of a spacecraft from the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has been found in L. Kunahandhoo.
Residents of Kunahandhoo informed Sun that an individual fishing on a dinghy discovered the debris in the island's lagoon on Thursday. They mentioned that the debris was delivered to the shore last night.
The wreckage seems to consist of pieces from a spacecraft's outer shell or fairing, with one part prominently showing ISRO’s emblem.
Residents indicate that the debris is presently located near the island's beach area, and authorities have not yet addressed the issue.
Sun was unable to get a response from the Maldives National Defense Force (MNDF) concerning the issue.
It is common for parts of space launch vehicles to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and fall into the ocean. In many instances, this debris does not pose an immediate threat.
Being the closest significant space agency to the Maldives, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is globally recognized for its remarkable achievements in space exploration. Throughout the years, the agency has conducted many successful missions, such as lunar explorations and various orbital initiatives.
