New data on "Cosmos 482" suggest that a Soviet satellite may de-orbit directly over Poland. It is already known where and when approximately the device will fall to the Ground, which informs Gazeta.Pl .
"The latest observational data indicate that the central de-orbiting point of the Kosmos 482 satellite will be tomorrow (Saturday, May 10. — Ed.) at 08:07. At this point, the probe will be located exactly over central Poland (Radom city area). The Polish Space Agency has not yet made a statement on this issue," said expert Karol Vujcicki.
Vujcicki confirmed that "the uncertainty window is still about 10 hours, but there are already less than 24 hours left before de-orbiting."
"There is a chance that something will finally land at Radom Airport!" he added in a comment under his post.
Kosmos—482 is a Soviet probe launched into orbit in 1972.
"Usually the de—orbiting of space debris does not pose a big threat, but this time the situation is different," Vujcicki wrote in the middle of the week.
"This is an unusual object that deserves close observation, with a titanium shell designed to withstand extreme accelerations, temperature and pressure during entry into the atmosphere of Venus. With a weight of about 500 kilograms and a diameter of 1 meter, it can survive and reach the Ground almost untouched," the expert explained.
