The article discusses the impending crash of the Kosmos-482 spacecraft, which has been orbiting the Earth since its launch in 1972. Due to an engine malfunction, it has been losing altitude, with a significant portion expected to land on Earth soon. Despite concerns about the craft potentially crashing into populated areas, statistical likelihood suggests it will land in the ocean or remote regions. The article notes the spacecraft's design for the harsh environment of Venus, implying that it may survive reentry. Updates will follow on the outcome of this event.
Kosmos-482, launched in 1972, is on an uncontrolled descent that may see it crash on Earth; it's been losing altitude for decades now.
The potential landing zone for the crashing Kosmos-482 stretches across a vast area, but statistically it's more likely to land in the ocean or uninhabited regions.
