The places that are acquired by the Soviet investigation that are expected on Saturday may affect: “It will fall like a stone.”
This Saturday in the early morning Located on the planet Cosmos 482The extinct Soviet Union launched in 1972 to Venus, which will resolve the atmosphere of the earth After a more measurable journey. But … where will you fall?
In fact, it is impossible to be tangible, because the autumn place (if that happens) depends on many factors. However, as shown in the gate outer spaceThe most natural is that Be the ocean.
The potential autumn area is very wide, as it appears on the map under these paragraphs. The lines that cross the map determines the potential area where Kosmos 482 will drop, while The red point is located on the western coast of Australia A mark on where the satellite is expected to be fragmented.
According to the European Space Agency (ESA), the Kosmos 482 probe can re -enter 8:37 am on Saturday (The time of the Spanish Peninsula), although the error margin exists more/less than three hours and 20 minutes.
But there are still many factors that affect the fall, such as solar activity, and if the investigation carries or not the umbrella, and if it takes that, it is, If it will be opened when you reach our planet.
In the data collected by Country“Usually, says, says Benjamin Basteda Vergili, who works in the Service Water Control Service at the European Space Agency. An entry object is not like a meteorite. ”
“Things stop completely in their fall on the ground because of Rubb It is like a stoneAbout 300 meters per second, “he adds Bastida.
It was launched in 1972 to study Venus
The ship was thrown by the Soviet Union in 1972 with the aim of studying Venus, but a collapse in its missile prevented it from escaping from gravity. It is believed that failure caused the engine burning, which It did not reach enough speed.
Since then, it has been besieged in an oval orbit, turned into space rubbish. What makes it different not only his life, but also Its structure is very resistantDesigned to support the infernal conditions of our neighboring planet. This raises a disturbing possibility: it can survive the re -access and reach the surface.
