Soviet spacecraft

The Soviet spacecraft “Space-482”, launched in 1972 during an unsuccessful mission to Venus, today, May 10, May 10, fell to Earth.

It is reported by NBC News.

The European Space Agency (ECA), which was controlled by the uncontrolled fall of the apparatus, said that the last radars fixed it over Germany. During the expected accident, the radar could no longer reveal the “space 482”, and it was concluded that “most likely, entering the atmosphere had already occurred.”

No casualties or damage were reported.

The press of the Russian “Roscosos” said that Cosmos-482 stopped to exist, leaving orbit and falling into the Indian Ocean. ”

It is argued that, according to the calculations of Russian experts, the device entered the dense layers of the atmosphere west of the island of the Middle Andaman and fell into the Indian Ocean to the west of Jakarta.

Cosmos-482 was part of the Soviet Venus-Series-a-A-A-ARIS-ARIS program, designed to study the planet of the solar system from the Sun.

Ten devices successfully landed on this hot, barren planet, but the rocket that carried space-482 failed. Its upper stage, which contained a trigger, was stuck in the orbit of land at an altitude of 10 thousand km.

The next 53 years of Space-482 revolved around the Earth in a smaller elliptical orbit, until it approached close enough to get into the atmosphere of the planet.

There is nothing unusual in space garbage that he returns to Earth. According to ECA, in 2022 more than 2.4 thousand objects created by a person, which is a record number, fell from space. For the most part, they burned in the atmosphere of the Earth, and the rest mostly fell into the ocean.
