Part of a spacecraft that has been stuck in orbit for 53 years is due to reenter Earth’s atmosphere around May 10 and could arrive intact.

The Soviet Union's failed Kosmos 482 Venus spacecraft is set to make a somewhat delayed reappearance as it slams into the Earth in the next few weeks. Between 1961 and 1984, the Soviet Union launched a series of space probes in order to study the second-closest planet to the Sun.

Kosmos 482, a 1,000 lb. former Soviet space probe, is currently expected to renter the Earth's atmosphere between May 8 and May 11, 2025. The spacecraft has been orbiting the planet for over 50 years and it may make impact at a speed of about 150 mph.
