It turned out that the space debris, which weighed 1.6 pounds, was actually part of the ISS.

According to the NASA report, the object is part of a battery pack that was thrown off the space station in 2021 as part of a power supply upgrade.

The total mass of the parts, which were expected to burn up completely on entry into the atmosphere, was around 5,800 pounds.

The ISS announced that they will investigate how it was possible for the debris to survive re-entry.

"NASA remains committed to responsibly operating in low Earth orbit, and mitigating as much risk as possible to protect people on Earth when space hardware must be released," the statement concludes.
