Forecasting air drag with deep learning helps predict when uncontrolled satellites and rocket stages fall to Earth

On May 10, 2025, the Soviet-era spacecraft Cosmos-482, launched in 1972, re-entered Earth's atmosphere and fell into the Indian Ocean, west of Jakarta. Several space agencies and research groups used deep learning to predict its fall, improving accuracy in tracking uncontrolled satellites and rocket stages.
