NASA Confirms Space Junk from ISS Crashed into Florida Home

NASA has confirmed that the object that crashed into a Florida home last month came from the International Space Station's cargo pallet of aging batteries. The recovered stanchion, made from Inconel, was a support component used to mount the batteries and should have burned up upon re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. NASA is investigating why the debris survived and plans to update its modeling and analysis based on the findings.
