- The Cosmos 482 satellite launched by the Soviet Union in 1972 is anticipated to crash on Earth this week, raising concerns over its shape and size upon impact.

Soviet Satellite Expected to Crash on Earth

The Cosmos 482 satellite, launched by the Soviet Union in 1972, is on a trajectory to crash into Earth this week, with uncertainties surrounding its shape and size upon impact.

Uncertainty Over Cosmos 482

Experts predict the object will enter Earth's atmosphere around May 10, but little is known about its structure, leading to speculation and concerns.

Potential Impact

Researchers suggest that only the 'entry capsule' of Cosmos 482 might survive re-entry due to its design for Venus's harsh conditions, minimizing the risk of human impact according to Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist.

Concerns, however, remain as the satellite's landing destination is unpredictable, with previous instances of space debris falling into the Earth's atmosphere without causing significant damage.

History of Cosmos 482

Originally intended for Venus, the satellite aimed to transmit data back to Earth but did not reach its destination. Space expert Marlon Sorge highlights that space debris re-entering the Earth's atmosphere is common, often landing in the ocean without major consequences.
