Soviet-era spacecraft Kosmos 482, launched for Venus, set to re-enter Earth's atmosphere around May 10.
A Soviet-era spacecraft, launched in 1972 for a Venus mission, is expected to re-enter Earth's atmosphere uncontrolled around May 10.
Known as Kosmos 482, the half-ton spacecraft has been orbiting Earth for 53 years after a rocket malfunction.
It could potentially survive re-entry due to its design to withstand Venus' atmosphere, though its parachute and heat shield's functionality are uncertain.
The re-entry location is unknown but likely to be over an ocean due to Earth's water coverage.
