Will Kosmos 482 hit Earth when it reenters atmosphere?

File video: Dashcam’s images caught at the time a meteorite that fell exploded in Calgary, Alberta, Wednesday morning.

A Soviet spacecraft of decades is expected to enter the atmosphere of the Earth in the next few days, but it is still a mystery as to where it will land if it survives its burning descent.

According to NASA, the spacecraft, known as Kosmos 482, Cosmos482 or simply 05919, was an investigation linked to Venus that was launched on a Russian soybean rocket on March 31, 1972.

NASA said that after reaching a parking orbit of the Earth, he tried to launch in a trajectory of Venus but failed.

Kosmos 482 broke into four sections, two of which remained in the orbit of the Earth for 48 hours, and two larger pieces that have been circling the earth since then.

NASA said that it is believed that a malfunction results in a motor burning that did not provide sufficient speed, and that is why it remains in an elliptical terrestrial orbit.

When will the atmosphere of Kosmos 482 Reenter Earth resent?

File video: Spacex made the eighth test flight of its precious ship’s ship from its launch installation in southern Texas on Thursday and similar to its January mission, the equipment lost control with the spacecraft minutes after the launch.

It is not yet 100% sure when the failed probe will re -enter the orbit of the Earth. However, NASA said that it is likely to make its burning decrease something from May 7 and 13, most likely around May 10.

Because the probe was designed to resist the immense heat within the atmosphere of Venus, it is possible that the probe, or parts of it, survives to re -enter and reach the surface of the earth.

However, it is still unknown where the probe, or pieces of it, will hit the earth.

As the probe is restarted, more details will be learned and more information about where the earth could affect will be disclosed.
