This almost certainly just shows its usual orbit. I've had no luck finding a source of real-time info.<p>The European Space Agency (ESA) publishes occasional updates here: <a href="https://blogs.esa.int/rocketscience/2025/05/07/reentry-prediction-soviet-era-venera-venus-lander-cosmos-482-descent-craft/" rel="nofollow">https://blogs.esa.int/rocketscience/2025/05/07/reentry-predi...</a> . The most recent one is from about 1h20m ago:<p>"10 May 09:56 CEST. As the descent craft was not spotted by radar over Germany at the expected 07:32 UTC / 09:32 CEST pass, it is most likely that the reentry has already occurred."<p>This was published about 20 minutes ago, but basically just quotes ESA:<p>"Kosmos-482: Out-of-control Russian spacecraft probably just fell to Earth, experts say"

"According to calculations by specialists from TsNIIMash (part of Roscosmos), the spacecraft entered the dense layers of the atmosphere at 9:24 Moscow time, 560 km west of Middle Andaman Island, and fell in the Indian Ocean west of Jakarta."<p><a href="https://t.me/roscosmos_gk/17407" rel="nofollow">https://t.me/roscosmos_gk/17407</a>
<a href="https://www.n2yo.com/satellite/?s=6073" rel="nofollow">https://www.n2yo.com/satellite/?s=6073</a> was tracking it but then got overloaded (mysql connection errors). But now shows it no longer in orbit.
