The Soviet spacecraft returns to the ground 53 years later this week later. Here’s what you need to know.

Scientists a few weeks ago a “City killer” asteroid There was a small chance to hit the ground. This forecast was grateful revisedThe planet may have fallen below the sky, another body – the 1970s of the 1970s called Space 482.

The Soviet era spacecraft, which is designed to go down to Venus half a century ago, is expected to be re-monitored soon.

According to cosmos trash tracking experts, it is too early to know where half a tons of metal will happen or how much it will happen.

Dutch scientist Marco Langbroek, a teacher at the University of Technology in the Netherlands, predicts that the failed spaceship will be re-entered on May 10.

“Although not risk free, we should not worry too much,” said Langbroek said in an email.

Although the object is relatively small and not separated from each other, the risk is similar to the fall of a random meteorite that occurs several times each year.

The spacecraft is a small chance of hitting someone or something in fact. “But it cannot be completely excluded.”

Jonathan McDowell, a astronomer in the center of Astrophysics in Harvard and Smithsonian, said he prepared a spacecraft “The final death decision.“

“I look forward to having ordinary few thousand chances to hit each other” McDowell wrote last month. “There is no need for great anxiety but you wouldn’t want to bury it in your head.”

Space 482 was put into operation in 1972

The Soviet Union launched 482 in 1972, one of the number of Venus missions. However, due to a missile failure, he never left the orbit of the earth.

Most of them collapsed for ten years. Langbroek and others a spherical object of the landing capsule – a spherical object, which is about 3 feet of diameter, and in the last 53 years, gradually fall into high.

1000 pounds plus the spacecraft is possible to survive again. Langbroek said that the carbon dioxide of Venus was built to endure down with a thick atmosphere of carbon.

Experts doubt that the parachute system will work in so many years. The heat shield can compromise in orbit a long time.

If the heat shield fails, the spacecraft will cause a wave to burn through the atmosphere, McDowell said in an email. However, heat protects, “If this is restarted in a whole, and you have a half-toned metal object falling from the sky.”

The spacecraft can restart in a place like London and Edmonton, London and Edmonton, North America, London and Edmonton, London and Edmonton as London and Edmonton in Alberta, London and Edmonton. But the majority of the planet water, “the chance is good, it really will end in ocean,” said Langbroek.

Space can affect garbage planes

Space Junk, who returned to the ground, can be a growing problem for the plane, researchers a Last Research.

The authors of the research said that the probability of space debris in a plane, but in both cosmets, the risk increased due to the increase in debris and flights.

The research was 0.8% of the divine rocket reinforcement of high-density regions near the large airports, but risks in “larger, yet engaged in” airspace in Asia or Asia in large cities in Asia or Asia “airpoints rose to 26%.

“There are few likelihoods, results can be catastrophic,” – researchers were in the study Published in scientific reports.

Space Junk has recently hit the ground

Space debris fell to the ground again in recent months.

In February, a space exploded in the United States, the garbage from 9 missiles in the United States entered the ground atmosphere on Poland. Two Whimping from an unknown object – Both were 3 meters in size about 5 feet – later found. Police said the objects came from the space rocket.

The last New Year’s Eve, the metal pieces, believed to be from a rocket, fell together Village in Kenya.

In March 2024 Faced with the claim of NASA The Florida House is from a family that hit a piece of metal.

Earlier, the European Space Agency said a satellite – a male male khinoceros told a male khinoceros Uncontrolled turn to the groundRe-sending the atmosphere over the North Pacific between Alaska and Hawaii. Many of the satellites burned the Earth’s atmosphere again.
