Faintly remembered that in the '70s a Russian satellite crashed in the Canadian North. Had to duck-search a bit to recall the details, but it was indeed 1978 and called #Kosmos954.
It crashed into the #NorthwestTerritories near Great Slave Lake scattering radioactive debris across the land. Quite a mess.
Tonight #kosmos482 launched in '72 will come crashing down. The debris risk is lesser, but it's still an armoured one-metre sphere weighing 500kg and it's really going to be hauling ass.

@ottaross There's a great podcast about it here: https://cumuluspodcastnetwork.com/pods/operation-morning-light/
Fortunately, this probe (probably) doesn't have a nuclear reactor on board, so yay.
