Cosmos 482, the Soviet -era spacecraft, is submerged in the confidentiality of the Cold War, will re -enter the Earth’s atmosphere in the next few days after the wrong firing on Venice’s journey more than 50 years ago.
On average, a piece of space Cosmos 482 sizes, a mass of about one and a half tons, once a week, once a week. This time, the different thing is that Cosmos 482 was designed to land on Venice, which was titanium heat shield made to counter the burning temperature, and engineer structures were developed to avoid 100 times more environmental pressure than the earth.
Therefore, a good opportunity is that the spacecraft will avoid the extreme forces facing it during its bedside through the environment. Generally, the space debris is broken and burns during the rental, which contains only a small part of the material reaching the surface of the earth. The European Space Agency, one of the numerous organizations that tracks space debris, says Cosmos 482 is “extremely likely” to reach the ground level in a piece.
FICKLE’s forecast
The Cosmos 482 spacecraft was launched at Bikeonor Cosmodome, now a part of Kazakhstan, which was on March 31, 1972, on a Muliana rocket. After a short time, the upper part of the rocket had to launch an investigation on the international trip to Venice with each other, where it was to advance the international investigation with each other.
But the rocket failed, and it was unable to avoid the grip of the earth’s gravity. The spacecraft was separated into several pieces, and Russian engineers withdrew from the mission. The central part of the Venice investigation re -enrolled the environment in 1981, but for 53 years, the 3.3 -foot diameter (1 meter) of the spacecraft, which was to land on Venice, remained in orbit around the Earth, its speed is only affected by the excessive layers of the environment.
The mission was part of the Soviet Union’s Venra program, which in 1970 acquired the first soft landing of the spacecraft on another planet with the Venra 7 mission, and pursued another successful landing with Venera 8 in 1972. Because it failed, Soviet 482, which would have become a controversial name: a non -controversial name: a non -discretion name: a non -controversial name.
