米航空宇宙局(NASA)は14日、3月4日に月面衝突が予想されるロケットの残骸について、米スペースXの「ファルコン9」の第2段ではなく、中国が2014年に打ち上げた月探査機「嫦娥5号」のT1ブースターと思われると発表しました
NASA launched in 2014 the wreckage of a rocket that is expected to collide with the moon on March 4, 2014, instead of the second stage of SpaceX`s Falcon 9. Announced that it seems to be a T1 booster for the lunar explorer Chang`e 5

月面衝突が予想される物体については、軌道力学の研究者で天体ソフトウェアの開発を手掛けるビル・グレイ氏の発表で明らかになりました
同氏は15年の時点で、この物体は同年に米国の深宇宙気候観測衛星「DSCOVR」の打ち上げに使われたファルコンロケットの第2段だったと断定していました
As of 2015, he had determined that the object was the second stage of the Falcon rocket used to launch the US deep space climate observation satellite DSCOVR that year.
