It all starts with a curiosity; Cosmos 482 finally fell in the Indian Ocean

The Cosmos 482 spacecraft finally fell in the Indian Ocean to the east of India, it practically fell halfway, it fell not far away, approximately 500 km from the islands of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands archipelago, which are marked with a red letter as the main island.

The main island is inhabited, all of them are inhabited, but there is one that is inhabited in a very special way, I tell this out of curiosity, it is the island of North Sentinel. It is inhabited by the Sentineles tribe. It is one of the last isolated tribes in the world and they are very hostile to anyone who goes to visit them, what's more, if you decide to land on the island you will surely end up dead, they live apart from the rest of humanity, perhaps they had bad experiences in the past, I can understand the truth, but I would have It would be curious that the ship had impacted there, it would be a historic event for them, something very rare.


The Cosmos 482 ship impacted on May 10 at 9:24 Moscow time, about 560 km west of the middle Andaman island, which is the largest of this archipelago. The ship, as I told you in a previous video, was launched in 1972 to study Venus but the launch went wrong and it remained in orbit all these years until it ended. The first pieces of the ship fell two days after the launch and now it has finished falling. rest which is the core that was destined to land on Venus.


By the way, there is a possibility that the ship had not sunk and is floating in the Indian Ocean so it would be feasible to recover its remains, unless they end up on the island of this tribe, in which case I do not think they will allow the remains to be collected.
