The 50-plus-year-old spacecraft has been trapped in Earth orbit for decades. Now, it’s expected to fall back home.

A Soviet-era spacecraft has plunged to Earth, more than a half-century after its failed launch to Venus. The half-ton spacecraft fell out of orbit on Saturday.

Reentry occurred at 2:24 a.m. ET (0624 GMT or 9:24 a.m. Moscow time) time over the Indian Ocean west of Jakarta, Indonesia, according to Russia's space agency Roscosmos. Kosmos 482 appears to have fallen harmlessly into the sea.
