A Soviet probe, which was launched in 1972 in 1972, is expected to dive to earth this weekend – without ever achieving its goal. The capsule of the Kosmos 482 probe is expected to arrive again for Saturday. It is not yet exactly calculated where exactly the approximately 500 kilograms of probe -hits.
However, the risk that someone will be damaged in the surcharge is negligible, assures the ESA of the European Space Agency. On the contrary, the chances would be good that the probe made of extremely resistant material as a whole arrives on earth and will not break or be gloomy when entering the atmosphere. This is due to the fact that the probe is designed to survive access to the atmosphere of Venus.
Infrastructure Ministry in contact with space authorities
The chance that Austria can be hit, “according to current calculations is 1 to 120 billion and is therefore extremely low,” said the Federal Ministry of Innovation, Mobility and Infrastructure on Friday evening. In short, such probes would be arranged on jobs that are not a danger or in a targeted way in marine areas. “If there is a more concrete risk of Austria due to further findings, this will be reformed,” it was emphasized. It was constantly in contact with the responsible EU World Dream Authorities, said it.
Extension full of technical devices
Between 1961 and 1983, the Soviet union sent various space troses to Venus as part of the Venera program to explore the foreign planet. Several of these probes also ended up on Venus and sent information from there. Cosmos 482, on the other hand, due to a failure of the Carrier rocket in the track. According to information from the American space agency NASA, the Soviet probe was battery activities and it has instruments for measuring temperature, pressure, density and other parameters.
