💨 Abstract

A Soviet spacecraft, Kosmos 482, launched in 1972 intended for Venus, is expected to fall back to Earth this weekend. The 1,000-pound, titanium-covered spacecraft may survive atmospheric reentry and impact. Experts anticipate it will likely fall over water or a desolate region, with minimal risk to populated areas. The exact time and location remain uncertain due to solar activity and the spacecraft's aging condition.
