Soviet Venus Probe Cosmos 482 Expected to Reenter Earth After 52 Years in Orbit

Cosmos 482, a Soviet Venus lander stranded in Earth's orbit since a failed launch in 1972, is expected to reenter the atmosphere between May 8 and May 14, 2025. Experts believe it may partially survive reentry due to its durable Venus-resistant design, sparking interest among scientists and space watchers globally.
