💨 Abstract

On May 10, 2025, the Cosmos 482, a Soviet spacecraft designed for Venus, likely reentered Earth's atmosphere and splashed down in the Indian Ocean. Launched in 1972, it failed to reach Venus and remained in Earth's orbit. The spacecraft, expected to survive re-entry intact due to its robust design, posed minimal risk.
