Part of the failed Soviet spacecraft that has been around the Earth has been around the past 53 years, is about to collapse. the Kosmos 482 Probe It was aimed at the Soviet Union Association in 1972 to collect data from the roof of Venus, but was moved in the orbit after a defect in the missile reinforced in the upper stage.
Cosmos separated 482 after the launch. While some parts re -inserted the atmosphere of the Earth in the eighties of the last century, the remaining pieces, which include 1091 rugs (495 kg), which have an area of about three feet, were slowly descending, and it is now expected to decline around 10 May, According to the Dutch scientist Marco Langbrokik.
It is currently not clear where it will fall, or if it is unwanted to be shown before the influence, but as Langbroek notes on his blog: “This is a cradle that is designed to survive through the atmosphere of Venus,” the surface that sits on average is the restoration of the rest. The landing will not be controlled either, as there are great doubts that Lander’s umbrella spreading will continue to work after all these years.
The possibility that Kosmos 482 in the real world is astronomical minimal. “The danger is like a risk of random fall, many of which happen every year,” Langbroke said Guardian. “You are at greater risk of beating in your life.”
