Kosmos 482 will enter the earthly atmosphere
Polsa informs that “government services actively monitor the orbital trajectory” Kosmos 482 post -Soviet probe. On Saturday, the building should enter the atmosphere of the land. Polsa adds that “may not burn completely and its remains can reach the surface“The latest probe prediction was also given.
Probe over Poland
“Currently again The probe entry into the atmosphere of the earth It is expected on May 10, 2025 around 07:16 CEST with uncertainty +/- 7.5 hours ” – writes the Polish Space Agency in a communication. As we read, on May 10 Two flights of the probe over the territory of Poland are expected. “The first from 06:38 – 06:39 CEST at the Jelenia Góra – Biała Podlaska belt, the second between 08:09 – 08:10 CEST, Wielona Góra – in the belt – Lublin” – says Polsa.
Polsa cooperates with the EU and the USA
The Polish Space Agency adds that “”together with EU and USA agenciesis working on the most current and precise information about the expected probe entry into the atmosphere of the Earth. “It was also emphasized that the official information regarding the anticipation of entering the atmosphere of the poll of the probe, “they are only available through official channels of government information”. “Polsa and government institutions do not authorize and are not responsible for information published in other than official channels” – he added.
Narrowing window of uncertainty
Cosmos 482 is a Soviet lander who had remained in the Earth's orbit for over half a century. He weighs almost half a ton and was supposed to explore Venus. The facility has been followed by the Polish Space Agency for two weeks. Karol Wójcicki, author of the Facebook profile “with the head in the stars” and the promoter of astronomy, meanwhile writes that “the risk that the Soviet probe Cosmos 482 will fall tomorrow on Poland, it is now greater than ever before! “After recent observations, the uncertainty window has been significantly narrowed – At the moment it is “only” about 10 hours (previously it was 26 hours, then 16 hours) “.
The middle of the window of uncertainty during the flight over Poland
Karol Wójcicki adds that the center of the Window of Uncertainty, which is the most likely moment of the probe entering the earthly atmosphere, “is currently at 08:07:26, which is exactly During this flight over Poland!” The scenario of entering Poland is as real as possible“.
Titic speed and a loud bang
Will the probe be seen over our country? The author of the profile “with the head of the stars” believes that most likely not, because “All of Poland will be covered with low clouds at this time“However, the object will be heard. If the probe entered the atmosphere above our area, after a few minutes most likely”We will hear a loud bang associated with its transition to the subdivation speed in the lower layers of the atmosphere. ”
