Cosmos 482 is located in the Indian Ocean after half a century through orbits without controlling
propagandaThe Cosmos 482 mission started with ambitious aspirations. While your twin ship, Venus 8I managed to reach Venus and transfer 50 minutes of data from the surface of the planet, Universe 482 has not yet come.
After a successful launch into a temporary Earth orbit, the payment system on board should be activated to reinforce the ship to Venus. instead of, Leaving a decisive failure of the probe besieged in an oval orbit It ranged between 210 km and 9800 km on the surface of the earth.
I turned and staying
A NASA spokesman also explained: The landing probe and the engine unit income in the separate upper stage (orbit Higher than 210 x 9,800 km ”.
The smallest ingredients re -inserted the atmosphere of the Earth and was almost immediately burned. but, The landing unit – an armored one time against overwhelming pressure and the heat of the burning flower – remained in orbit since thenSlowly descend.
What makes this re -purchase noticeable in particular is building the landing unit. This spacecraft weighs almost 500 kg and has an armored ball shape. His residence is designed to support:
- Top temperatures 450 ° C
- More pressure 90 times higher To the Earth’s atmosphere
- The effect of landing
- Population of the umbrella from 2.5 square meters
- Transfer scientific data from the surface of Venus
According to him NASA spokesmanThe landing probe was “an isolated spherical bowl with a similar design for Vinira 7. It had a higher residence that would be expelled at the entrance to the atmosphere to width the 2.5 square meters of umbrella and expose the antenna and tools.”
While the umbrella or housing tools are unlikely to survive the ground re -enter, Titanium housing can get intact to the ground.
Final monitoring, uncertainty until the end
Experts warn that following the final decline of the investigation will be difficult until the last moments. NASA spokesman said: “The uncertainty will only be very important to re -enter“With emphasizing the difficulty of modeling from this model and mass on this height.
Cosmos 482 received his name because of Soviet policy at that timeAny planetary mission has been appointed that was unable to get out of the Earth’s orbit as a “cosmos” satellite. Despite his expected fate, The Soviet record records of the officer have never been able to be Venus’s mission.
The ship was part of a long series of flower investigations that were released during the space race in the Cold War. Despite the failure of many, the Soviets finally became A unique country in functional tools landing on the surface of the briefing neighbor to Earth.
I return to Amiring in the Indian Ocean
The Spatial Monitoring Centers of the European Union (EU SST) confirmed that it is “Active monitoring of non-controlled entry into the Earth’s atmosphere in the Cosmos-482 lineageA spacecraft from the Soviet era, which was launched in 1972 and directed to the landing in Venus. “
The American joint stock sensors network is closely affiliated May 10, with uncertainty ± 4 hours. He finally did this at 6:24 GMT, and after falling into the water, he drowned in the western ocean Yakarta, according to the Russian Space Agency Roscosmos.
