A Soviet Venus probe launched in 1972 finally fell back to Earth after circling the planet for 53 years because its rocket malfunctioned. It was built so tough to handle Venus’s 867°F surface that pieces could survive re-entry, yet experts say the chance of anyone being hit was almost zero.
Hope it’s on land, would be pretty cool to recover it.
Just checked the backyard. It does not seem to be here.
It seems to have landed into Indian Ocean by this thread answer: [https://bsky.app/profile/planet4589.bsky.social/post/3lostcdm6qk2v](https://bsky.app/profile/planet4589.bsky.social/post/3lostcdm6qk2v) Shame for recovery (unless someone is able to precisely pinpoint location and send a ship).
Any other info on what might of survived? The re entry?
