The space space investigation of the former Soviet Union is expected to return to Earth soon, and if his diving occurs on your head, some modern satellite nurses may offer some clues to what you may see.
Kosmos 482 He was in orbit around the earth for more than 50 years. The investigation was launched in 1972 as part of the Soviet Union Venera program. The task was linked to the flower, but the problem with the investigation launch vehicle was cut off by Kosmos 482 in an oval orbit around the ground. The clouds in the atmosphere have been withdrawn from the non -operating spacecraft that is less and less in the height over the decades, and the Kosmos 482 is now just days of its final death. The latest expectations come home early on Saturday morning (May 10).
Several re -entry into the atmosphere have been monitored in the last months and years, and the spectators recorded them as gunfire from light that blinds them through the sky. Spacex Starlink Industrial satellites, for example, which are more than 7000 in orbit, often seen the abolition of death to meet their final disappearance in the sky, like one I witnessed several American states Near the end of 2024.
Starlink Satellites is designed to fall from orbit and combustion in the air at the end of her operational life, and scenes of getting rid of their high height became more common. most SatelliteIn fact, in the end it falls from its orbits without a small correction that burns with their screams from time to time. Those who are not operating are usually tracked to determine whether to re -enter may pose any risk to public safety.
A dead Chinese satellite was burned while re -entering the Earth and the dazzling stars in the southern United States in December 2024. Fiery balls During its decline, the block turns into a bright scene in the sky of the night.

Most dead satellites and other channels Scrap The atmosphere is completely disintegrated and disintegrated before reaching the Earth, and in fact, it is designed in this way. For those pieces that sometimes survive, the possibilities are preferred by an overwhelming majority of machine guns, which cover about 70 % of the Earth’s surface. However, even with these opportunities, cutting sometimes on solid ground.
A Spacex Missile stage Fall on the ground In February, for example, light lines were burned across the European sky. It ended with some pieces from that stage to survive its fiery diving, and it was shattered in Poland.

The Spacex Dragon Capsuel Fund has also recently survived the re -entering the atmosphere, and It was crashed into the mountains of North Carolina.
The latest test trips at Spacex with the company championship The missile also ended in burns of space debris burning in the sky while they were returning to Earth. During two launchers in the latest launch of models, the upper stage of the car exploded over the Atlantic Ocean, where the cutting of debris rains through a wide extension and artificial creation Nizak shower For people across the Bahamas and space coast in Florida.

Not all the space that belongs to the Earth is burning in the air. The spacecraft such as the Spacex and Dragons Cargo crew, which hangs astronauts and supplies to and to International Space StationIt is supposed to return safely to Earth, but it can cause glasses to monitor its own sky – such a scene from Spacex Backing dragon to return to Earth At the end Crew 3 Important for NASA.

Small investigations have also been returned intentionally to Earth, and a better idea of what will appear to return to the homeland Kosmos 482. Kosmos 482 is a Venus Lander, so it was built to withstand a high -speed flight through a thick atmosphere. Spacecraft You may survive very well Her journey through the air on the ground is intact and slips strongly on the surface (or, most likely, water).
Individual space She recently returned one of her small capsules from the Earth’s orbit. California has acquired a dramatic video of the capsule because it made its fiery path across Jonah.
If Kosmos 482 is not separated, his return will not create an artificial shower as some other pieces did unwanted. Instead, the Venus probe will be one fiery ball through the sky.

The Varda capsule was measured about 3 feet (1 meters) and diameter about 265 lbs (120 kg). Kosmos 482 is believed to be almost the same size, but it weighs about 1,190 pounds (495 kg). If they survive, the path modeling indicates that Kosmos 482 will affect the surface of the earth at about 150 miles per hour (240 kilos per hour).
