💨 Abstract

A Soviet satellite, Kosmos 482, launched in 1972 and originally intended for Venus, is expected to reenter Earth's atmosphere between May 8 and 12. The descent craft, stuck in Earth's orbit, could land anywhere between 52° north and 52° south, covering vast areas of land and ocean. Experts predict it may survive re-entry due to its design, but the risk of impacting a populated area is low.
