Decades in Orbit
After 53 years in Earth’s orbit, a long-lost Soviet spacecraft is preparing for an uncontrolled reentry. This spacecraft, initially intended for a mission to Venus, encountered an engine anomaly that left it stranded in orbit for decades. Now, the time has come for this relic of space exploration to make its return to Earth.
This long-abandoned spacecraft serves as a reminder of the ambitious space programs of the past. As it descends towards Earth, scientists and space enthusiasts watch closely, curious about where it might land. The journey ends not with a bang but as a poignant chapter in the history of space exploration.
