53-Year-Old Soviet Spacecraft Will Plummet Back to Earth This Week

Space 482 has been trapped in the orbit of the Earth for 53 years, but the traveling journey ends. The atmosphere of the failed Venus mission is expected to be re-launched by dramatic fall on the home planet, can remain entirely or equal to either side of the equator.

The Soviet era spacecraft will be immersed with 12 to 12 seats on May 8-12. To date, the exact location of space 482 will fall to the earth is the exact place where it will grow in large parts of the world on both sides of the world. It is unknown when the spacecraft will be in a piece or restarting, and the trash will rain.

In space 482, March 31, 1972, Kazakhstan’s statement came from Baikonur from space to Space. The mission was an attempt to reach the Venus of the Soviet space program, but failed to speed up to the burning hot planet to enter the transfer trajectory. Venus resulted in an engine burning that he was not enough to reach the ‘orbit Nasa. Since then, the spacecraft is stuck in an elliptical orbit around the earth. The spacecraft entered a higher orbit into a higher orbit (up to 9,800 kilometer of 210 kilometers) to a higher orbit.

AstroFoGrapher Ralph Vandebergh has recently taken 482 photos in space before the projected landing of space 482 and seized the notes of those who seemed to be a parachute placed on the spacecraft. “It’s nothing at this point,” Vandebergh told gizmodo in an email. “In 2014, I had the first token in my images, but I did not think of this possibility seriously. But I thought it was necessary to express this probability when I worked in 10 years later.”

# Of space482 Save about the probability of parachute. Although pre-mentioned, the technically images are correct. Tracking problems, no coverage, and this is, if this is, I do not expect a similar atmospheric effect in separate footage for 10 years. pic.twitter.com/dicmzqny0z

Although the spacecraft was hanged in space, the spacecraft is still unlikely to slow down space and slow down the ground.

After the venture, the space ship was broken into four different pieces, two days after two days after the two days after reboot two days later. The remaining two numbers, a carrier bus and a spherical pressure ship from £ 1,000 (495 kilograms) in one place.

Today, it is difficult to determine the rest of the rest of the heat-resistant space ship restarted the Earth’s atmosphere. According to Marco Langbroek, according to a satellite watcher in Leiden, Marco, according to a satellite watcher in the Netherlands, shows that there is any place between 52 degrees north and 52 degrees. In this area, the United States, South America, Africa, Africa and Australia, Europe and Asia, and in the south of the Arctic scope, it includes this area. The landing zone of the spacecraft will be clearer as approaching the prisoner.

Another question is how much the atmosphere will survive again. “This is a place designed to spread through the Venus atmosphere, restart with the Earth’s atmosphere and influence whole” langbroek write in a blog update.

Langbroeek, in an hour, approximately 150 miles (242 kilometers per hour), or offers the speed of influence (242 kilometers per hour) or burns or restarted or reconstructed. In the cinetry, the 15-21-inch length (40-55 centimeters) meteorite fragment, according to Langbroek.

According to our planet, the space ship will end at the bottom of an ocean floor. At the same time, the chances affect an area of ​​settled are not zero, so its back history and location violates the form of risk indefinitely.
