Failed Soviet Venus lander Kosmos 482 crashes to Earth after 53 years Remember Kosmos 482, the Soviet spacecraft that failed to complete its mission over half a century ago? For 53 years, it has been quietly orbiting Earth, and now it's making an unexpected return, sparking interest among space watchers. Originally launched as part of a Venus mission, Kosmos 482 never made it out of Earth's orbit due to a launch failure. Now, decades later, it's on track to reenter the Earth's atmosphere. Will its return be seen as a relevant moment in space history, or a resurgence of embarrassment for the former Soviet space program?
