A Soviet-era spacecraft, Kosmos 482, is expected to re-enter Earth's atmosphere in May after 53 years in orbit. Experts predict it will crash at around 242 kph, but the risk to people is low, similar to a random meteorite fall. The spacecraft was originally intended for a Venus mission but malfunctioned and has been orbiting Earth since. There are concerns about its heat shield and parachute system, but it may survive re-entry.
