Chinese rocket expected to crash into Earth this weekend

What is the tracker tracking if the rocket could have already crashed?

The calculated trajectory - within a window of 2 hours beginning at 9:00 pm ET (01:00 UTC). It is now 02:21 UTC.

Once it's confirmed that the debris has crashed (hopefully in an ocean), then the "tracker" will stop.

The absence of new data sets could indicate #LongMarch5B reentered. This fits both our own latest prediction's uncertainty range and @SpaceTrackOrg predictions. Without confirmed video footage, a decay message or a new data set, we cannot yet confirm. We're still watching.
