Earth is expected to resume after 52 years in Soviet Venus Investigation Cosmos 482 Class

A Soviet Union Lander is going back to the Earth’s atmosphere after 52 years in the class. Cosmos 482 of the Soviet Union was launched on 31 March 1972 and should have landed on Venus under the USSR’s Venera program. However, due to a certain malfunction, it could not leave the Earth’s orbit and moved for 52 years. Its body was divided into two parts; The main one crashed back to Earth, and the other section, lander, stuck in the Earth’s orbit.

Lander returns to earth

As StudyThe lander is re -entering the Earth’s atmosphere and is expected to return from May 8 to May 14. The most likely date is 11 May, which is calculated on the basis of orbital data Satellite experts provided by Marco Langbrock. This crash landing can occur anywhere between 52 degrees north and south of the equator, almost from Quebec to Petagonia. As NASAThe weight of the lander is about 1100 pounds, the weight of a car.

What kind of looks it looks like

This lander was designed to avoid the path through the atmosphere of Venus, so it may be likely that it can survive in rebirth in the Earth’s atmosphere and may remain intact with probably no effect. However, the risks are not very high, but are still not negligible, while Langbrock said Speaking To live science.

Advanced Astographer, Ralph Wandebeberg used a binocular camera to track the revolving satellites. Some images suggest that this can be a parachute of Cosmos 482, however, there is still no certainty, as it is surprising that if the parachute will work even after so many years.

Cosmos 482 Venera 8 as sister check

Cosmos 482 was built after Venera 8 as a sister investigation. However, Venera 8 became the second craft descending on the warm surface of Venus during the same year, 1972. This prepared the data from Venus for 50 minutes, which before burning from the scorching heat of Venus.
