No longer in forceA space debris danger area is established by a polygon off the Head of the Great Australian Bight to Streaky Bay. The hazard applies daily from 02 to 08 November 2026 between 1100 and 1400 UTC. Mariners should avoid the area during these times due to possible falling debris. The coordinates of the polygon are given in the warning.
Avoid the danger area during the stated daily periods and keep a sharp lookout for any debris. Follow instructions from coastal authorities if promulgated.
Background (general knowledge, not from the warning)
Such danger areas are issued when objects from space (launch stages or re-entering debris) are expected to fall or re-enter over the sea. The scheduled daily windows suggest a planned re-entry or launch trajectory producing a downrange debris corridor. These warnings are usually promulgated by national maritime authorities in support of space launch/re-entry safety and to protect shipping from falling fragments. Mariners should treat the area as hazardous during the stated times and heed any further notices from authorities.
