Fri May 02 09:43:06 UTC 2025: ## Soviet-Era Satellite Poised for Uncontrolled Earth Re-entry in 2025
**London, UK** – A defunct Soviet-era satellite, Kosmos 482, is on a collision course with Earth, with a predicted re-entry in May 2025. The 50-year-old spacecraft’s precise landing location remains unknown, raising concerns amongst space agencies and experts about potential damage or injuries. While most of the satellite is expected to burn up upon atmospheric entry, fragments could survive the descent and impact the ground. The lack of predictability surrounding the re-entry trajectory adds to the uncertainty and the potential risk. Further updates and monitoring of Kosmos 482’s descent are expected as the date approaches.
