The Kosmos 482 satellite, launched by the USSR in 1972, is expected to re-enter Earth's atmosphere between May 9-13. Weighing 500 kg, this satellite poses a significant threat to populated areas, particularly in the UK where Dr Marco Langbroek predicts it could land anywhere south of Cambridge. With its landing trajectory uncertain and influenced by solar activity, experts cannot pinpoint its exact landing spot. As this piece of space debris descends at 17,000 mph, high population regions worldwide face potential danger from a catastrophic collision.
The Kosmos 482 satellite, launched in 1972, is predicted to crash back to Earth, threatening populated areas, particularly in the UK, between May 9-13.
Dr Marco Langbroek states the satellite could land anywhere in the UK south of Cambridge, Ipswich, or Milton Keynes, putting millions at risk.
