The Russian space agency (Roscosmos)
Released the following on their Telegram channel... (Translated from Russian)
The device “Cosmos-482” descended from orbit and fell into the ocean
Launched in 1972, the spacecraft "Cosmos-482" ceased to exist, descending from orbit and falling in the Indian Ocean
The convergence of the device was controlled by the means of the Automated Warning System of Danger Situations in Near-Earth Space.
In accordance with the calculations of specialists TsNIIMash (part of Roscosmos), the device entered the dense layers of the atmosphere at 9:24 GMT 560 km west of the island of the Middle Andaman and fell in the Indian Ocean west of Jakarta.
The device was launched in the spring of 1972 to study Venus, but due to a malfunction of the upper stage remained in the high elliptical orbit of the Earth, gradually approaching the planet.
