Suspected rocket part washes ashore in Australia

On July 16, a suspected rocket part washed ashore near Jurien Bay in Western Australia. The 8-foot-wide object was badly damaged and it exhibited signs of having been in the water for a prolonged period. On July 30, the Australian Space Agency said it was “most likely debris” from an expended Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), a medium-lift rocket that the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) launches on a frequent basis.
