The spacecraft 'Kosmos-482', created in the USSR in 1972, may soon fall to Earth. The satellite has remained in orbit after a failed launch and is now approaching our planet uncontrollably. According to Dutch expert Marco Langbroek, the device weighs about 500 kg and could enter the atmosphere by May 10 at a speed of over 27 thousand kilometers per hour. The potential fall covers Europe, and debris from the device could land in ocean waters.

At the same Time, the European Space Agency (ESA) along with Frontier Space and Imperial College London are conducting research on growing food for astronauts directly in orbit, as well as on the Moon and Mars in the future. The project involves growing essential components of food under laboratory conditions - proteins, fats, proteins, and fibers, and then preparing regular meals from them.

Additionally, Amazon has already launched the first 27 satellites into space to create its Kuiper broadband internet network. This network will compete with SpaceX's Starlink and will provide internet access from space.
