Kosmos 482: Debris of Soviet Spacecraft About to Crash to Earth this May After 53 Years in Space

newadmin May 10, 2025

May 10, 2025 — In a rare and unusual warning, space agencies and experts are alerting the public about a small but notable chance of encountering debris from a Soviet-era spacecraft re-entering Earth\’s atmosphere this weekend.

According to recent statements, a piece of space debris from a failed Russian mission to Venus, launched over 50 years ago, is expected to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere on Saturday, May 10. The spacecraft, which never achieved its intended orbit and broke into several pieces, has been drifting in space for decades. Now, one of these fragments, believed to be a half-ton lander probe, is on a collision course with Earth.

While the likelihood of impact remains extremely low, authorities emphasize that the exact landing spot is unknown due to the vast re-entry zone. The potential impact area spans from approximately 51.7 degrees north to 51.7 degrees south latitude, encompassing most of the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, much of Africa, and large parts of Asia. The most probable outcome is that the debris will burn up in the atmosphere or fall into the ocean, but the possibility of it reaching land cannot be entirely dismissed.

Experts advise the public to stay alert and keep an eye on official updates over the weekend. Though the chances of injury or damage are minimal, this event serves as a reminder of the long-lasting footprint of space exploration and the ongoing issue of space debris management.

While the scenario might sound like a plot from a sci-fi movie, officials stress that the risk remains very small. Nonetheless, it’s an extraordinary moment in space history that underscores the unpredictable nature of remnants from early space missions.

Stay tuned for official updates and safety recommendations.
