The Kosmos 482 probe flew over Poland. Did there be deorbitation?
On Saturday morning, the Post -Soviet Kosmos 482 probe crossed the space of Poland twice, without entering the atmosphere and distracting previous fears. The Polish Space Agency (Polsa) still reported on Friday about a high probability of a decrease in part of the probe into our area. However, on Saturday the situation changed and it was indicated that Kosmos 482 no longer poses danger in this region.
The Kosmos 482 probe flew over Poland. Did there be deorbitation?
The flight trajectory could be monitored on many websites presenting the paths of satellites. At the moment It still cannot be said with complete certainty when exactly the probe burned in the atmosphere – It is not excluded that it has already happened. Another possible flights over Europe will not be close to Poland to be able to observe or hear the moment of entering the atmosphere.
According to Karol Wójcicki, a popularizer of knowledge about space and author of the blog « with the head in the stars », Most likely, deorbitation took place at 7:42 Polish time above the Peru area. A film appeared on the internet to be proof of this situation.
At the same time, however, they appeared reports about the detection of the object by radar systems in GermanyH around 8:04, which may suggest that it was not destroyed over Peru.
The return of the probe and its turbulent history
The project called Kosmos 482 was part of the ambitious space program of the USSR. It began in the 70s with a view to landing on Venus. However, the failure of the load -bearing rocket caused the lander to remain in the orbit of the Earth for many years. The purpose of the construction was Lifting of extreme temperatures and powerful pressure prevailing on this planet.
Polsa representatives previously reminded that the entire probe or its fragments could land on the surface of the earth. Current data, however, indicate that The remains of this structure will no longer fall into the area of our country.
