The spacecraft of the Soviet era is not in control of the earth
After a half -century failed for Venus, Cosmos 482 It must be re -entered in the atmosphere of the earth in the coming days. Experts said the danger was low, but completely null.
In May 2016, Venus was recovered by the Japanese aerospace exploration company’s Akatsuki investigation.

A spacecraft from This is Soviet Opened in the 1970s, which should be down VenusAt 10 pm, the earth should fall uncontrollably. Although the episode is in danger, experts are not likely to cause damage.
According to Dutch scientist Marco Longbroke, At the Delft University of Technology, the 500 -pound metal capsule is very quick to go. It is estimated that the weather will enter up to 242 km/h if it is intact.
“Although it is not dangerous, we should not be too concerned,” Longbroke said in an email Associated Press Agency.
The object is very small and, even if it is not separate, “The risk is similar to a random drop in a meteor. This happens several times a year.Were, and,, and,, and,, and,.. Subinhou Longbroke.
The hypothesis that the spacecraft really reaches one or any smaller, “MaS. Cannot be completely removed. “
Cosmos 482: Investigations that have never left the orbit of the earth
Belonging to the Capsule Mission Cosmos 482The Soviet Union launched in 1972 As part of a series of missions of Venus the planet. However, a defect in the rocket prevented the ship from abandoning the earthly orbit.

Most structure was destroyed in the first decade of orbit. However, according to Longbroke and other experts Territorial debris.
Built to prevent Venus
The cartridge is designed to support the dense descent Venus weatherCarbon dioxide is high, which Increases the chance of returning on earth.
However, original systems such as parachutes are unlikely to work in space for many decades. Thermal shield can also be compromised.
“Of course, it is good to fail the thermal shield,” said Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smitsonian Center of Astrophysics. “It breaks the capsule during the reentry. But if we resist, half a tonnes of metal falls from the sky.”
Likely to fall into the sea
Re -EENT Entrance may occur At any time the northern and southern latitude between 51.7 degrees – This includes cities such as London or Edmonton in Canada, like the Cabo Horn in South America.
“As the planet is mostly covered with water, there is a good odds that the investigation will eventually come to the sea,” Longbroke concluded.
