A spacecraft of the Soviet era is expected to land in Venus in 1970 May be in the first two weeks of May. According to experts in monitoring Space wasteIt is very soon to know where this metal mass falls or which part of it will escape rehabilitation. Dutch scientist Marco Langprook predicts that the failed ship will be dissatisfied on our planet Around May 10. Langprook calculates that it will fail at 242 km / h, assuming it is intact.
“Although it is not exempt from risks, We shouldn’t worry too much“, Aburma Langprook. L Stuff S. Relatively small Also, although it is not broken, “the risk is similar to the random fall of a meteorite, which is produced for many years. The risk of lightning reached for a lifetime is high.” The spacecraft is really small to attack someone or something, but “it cannot be completely excluded.”
What is the Soviet tasks for Venus?
The Soviet Union was launched 1972 The spacecraft is called Gosmos 482One in a series Trips To Venus. But he never got out of the terrain orbit Rocket is wrong. Most returned to Earth within a decade. But Longbruk and others believe that the landing capsule, a spherical material with a diameter of about one meter, is circling around the world around the world Most elliptical orbit in the last 53 yearsGradually reduces your height.
Shipping, nearly 500 kg, Episode from the reusable. According to Longbrook, he belongs to the University of Technology (Netherlands), which is built to resist a descent through the atmosphere Venus, Dense as carbon dioxide. Experts suspect that the parachute system operates many years later. Heat armor may also be affected after a long time in the orbit.
Jonathan McDowell, a Harvard-Smithsonian Astronomy Center It is better to fail thermal armorThe ship is burning when it sinks into the atmosphere. But If the armor lasts, “it will be angry You will also have half a ton of metal that falls from the sky. “This ship is between 51.7 degrees North and South latitude, or as London and Edmanton in the north, in the Canadian province of Alberta, until the end of Hornos in South America, but since most planets are water.”Some end up in the sea“, Dyse Long Fruk.
