Launched in 1972 it was designed to reach Venus and land on its surface. It suffered an anomaly, stranding the probe in an elliptical orbit around Earth where it has remained for over 50 years. Its expected to survive reentry and crash somewhere tonight.

I think it landed in the Indian Ocean. Reminds me of Skylab in the Summer of 79.	Ramgator	27	May 10, 2025 07:13AM
