Thanks for even more space junk, FElon.

It's also the sort of business that I feel like any state foreign intelligence service ought to be willing to fund. Just in case something they regarded as not being useful to them in space needed to be de-orbited in a responsible and timely manner. I feel like we should try to persuade the band to capitalise on that... 🤪

Regardless, astronomers of the world will be willing to give Space Junk Removal Service a listen ❤️

Thorough analysis of satellite reentries over the last 5 years, and how they were affected by the May 2024 solar storm: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.13752

Personally, I think the paper has way too much of a tone of "wow look at all this great reentry data! We can learn so much about satellite drag!" and not nearly enough "Holy shit guys, that's a lot of metal burning up in the atmosphere, maybe this is a bad idea?"

After 53 years in orbit, the Soviet-era Kosmos 482 spacecraft made an uncontrolled reentry into Earth’s atmosphere on May 10, 2025, over the Indian Ocean. Originally intended for a Venus mission in 1972, the craft became long-term space debris due to a launch failure.

"Failed Soviet Venus lander Kosmos 482 crashes to Earth after 53 years in orbit" by @Spacecom - Re-entry location still unknown, leading to educated guesses that it fell in the water. In between its last radar contact over Europe and missing the next one, it went over Asia, Indian Ocean, Western Australia, Pacific Ocean, Central America and the Atlantic Ocean.

"Soviet Kosmos 482 spacecraft crashes into an unknown site on Earth" by @NBCNews - Its orbit decayed. It re-entered. It's down somewhere. We don't yet know where.

🚀 Ah yes, the riveting tale of #tracking space junk, brought to you by a committee of buzzword enthusiasts. 🌌 Because who wouldn't want a #bureaucratic #permission slip to gaze at the heavens? 🤖 Just remember: it's non-commercially thrilling!

If a satellite re-entry and sonic boom occurs over the ocean and nobody there is online to post it on #SocialMedia, did it really happen? #space #SpaceJunk #Kosmos482

European Space Agency ESA reports #Kosmos482 did not show up for a projected radar pass and is presumed to have re-entered. Location still unknown. https://blogs.esa.int/rocketscience/2025/05/07/reentry-prediction-soviet-era-venera-venus-lander-cosmos-482-descent-craft/ #space #SpaceJunk #Kosmos482
