The Soviet spacecraft in orbit 53 years ago should fall to the world in May

A ship initiated by the extinct Soviet Union in 1972 should fall into the world after having wandered in space for decades, as announced by Marco Langbroek, a satellite observer on 28 Monday. The entrance is planned to take place in the second week of May.

Kosmos 482, which was released 53 years ago and the planet Venus, a destination point.

The incident with the propeller pushed the ship to break a few parts, which appeared at the end of the task. While some parts were re -entering in the atmosphere and days after the launch, while the others fell into a region of New Zealand, others have reached the land orbit so far.

The Kosmos 482 landing module watched by Langbroek is one of them. The Dutch expert uses telescopes and other equipment to monitor the objects in terrestrial orbit, and tries to estimate a more precise date for re -entry by updating the calculations in recent weeks.

The effect like a meteorite

Designed to get rid of Venus’ enemy atmosphere with very high temperatures, the Soviet spaceship strengthened thermal protection. In addition, it can support strong acceleration and high pressure produced during the landing process, probably the features of the object remaining for more than 50 years.

Thus, the Dutch audience believes that the landing module will not have any more difficulty in getting rid of the re -entry on earth without breaking, and reduces the chances of the object to cause problems while falling into the planet depending on the locals. Due to its measurements, Langbroek estimates that the effect will be similar to a meteoritink.

“The relevant risks are not particularly high, but they are not Null: 500 kg is slightly below and the size of 1 meter, the risks are similar to a metesting effect.” If it remains intact while passing through the atmosphere, the ship should fall at a rate of 242 km/h..

After the failure of the mission, the Soviet Union launched the second ship in Venus in 1972, Venera 8. The prohib was able to transmit data from the surface of the planet for about 50 minutes until the site resisted the excessive weather conditions.

Where and when will the Soviet ship fall?

According to the latest calculations, Kosmos 482 should enter the Earth’s atmosphere on 10 May. However, it is important to state that a more accurate date should be informed only when the decline approaches, as the audience points out.

Regarding the fall of the Soviet ship in orbit, No correct information yet. This depends on the factors, as well as whether the entry will occur in the moment and the object will not be completely broken down in various debris, and the details should only be explained close to history.

In general, the debris of the unsuccessful spacecraft, satellites and space tasks fall into the remote areas of the ocean or to deserted places. However, the risk of re -entry cannot be ignored.
