A broken and inactive Soviet satellite is expected to fall back to Earth next week, raising concerns from space experts that it could potentially hit the planet’s surface with deadly results.

The New York Post reported:

“The unit ‘might well survive Earth atmosphere entry and hit the ground’, warned British-American astronomer Jonathan McDowell in a blog post. ‘In which case, I expect it’ll have the usual one-in-several-thousand chance of hitting someone’.

Like China- Russia's Soviet era space junk continues to be the gift that just keeps giving. I hope and pray this one doesn't hurt anyone or damage someone's property.

A Soviet spacecraft launched in 1972 on a failed mission to Venus is believed to have crashed back to Earth early on Saturday morning.

The European Space Agency, which was monitoring the craft’s uncontrolled descent, said it was last spotted by radar over Germany. At the time of its expected crash, radar could no longer detect the Kosmos 482, concluding that “it is most likely that the reentry has already occurred.”

No injuries or damage have been reported.
