The remains of a successfully launched rocket have damaged two houses in Hunan province on Monday. This led experts to call for an insurance plan to cover damage that is caused by space launches and re-entries.

On early Monday, the remains of the Long March rocket that carried the Chang'e-3 lunar probe into space fell in a village in Suining county, Hunan province.

No fatalities were caused, Xiaoxiang Morning Post reported on Tuesday.

As per a report, the occupant of one of the houses was given 10,800 yuan ($1,750) as compensation, whereas the other received 5,200 yuan after authorities reviewed the damage. The launching of the Chang'e-3 lunar probe had forced the authorities of Suining County to transfer 1, 60,000 residents to some other place.

Despite the apt action from authorities, experts still thinks that the country needs an insurance plan that would to cover property losses, deaths or injuries, after space launches.

Ren Zili, a professor of insurance laws at Beihang University, says "If the authority continues to handle the compensation by individual cases, there is never going to be a solution at the system level".

Since the initiation of the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-15), China's space activities have increased.

Zhang Jianheng, deputy general manager with the China Aerospace Science and Technology Cooperation, told that the number of launches per year has reached to as many as 20.
