A Soviet Venus lander, Kosmos 482, is expected to crash-land on Earth around May 10, 2025. Launched in 1972, it failed to reach Venus and has been in Earth orbit since. While its re-entry is uncertain, it's likely to land in the ocean. Despite its potential impact speed of 150 mph, the risk to the public is considered low due to its size and the probability of an intact landing.
