Kosmos 482 (Russian: "Космос 482" meaning Cosmos 482), launched 31 March 1972, at 04:02:33 UTC, was an attempted Soviet Venus probe which failed to escape low Earth orbit. It is expected to crash back to Earth sometime around early 9 to 10 May 2025.[1][2] Its landing module, which weighs 495 kilograms (1,091 lb),[3] is highly likely to reach the surface of Earth in one piece as it was designed to withstand 300 g of acceleration and 100 atmospheres of pressure.
