Soviet-era spacecraft to reenter Earth’s orbit this month after 50 years could result in disaster – should we be concerned

IndiaTimes Sunday, 4 May 2025
Kosmos 482, a Soviet-era probe, is reentering Earth this month. Launched in 1972 for a Venus mission, it failed to escape Earth's gravity. Satellite trackers are monitoring its descent. Experts predict reentry around May 10. The lander module may survive reentry. Risk to humans is minimal, similar to a meteorite strike.
