Cosmos 482 or Kosmos 482 is believed to be a capsule launched by the Soviet Union in 1972 .
It failed en route to a transfer orbit that would have taken it to Venus to study its environment.
In the decades since, the object has circled Earth aimlessly as it was slowly dragged back toward Earth .
Experts say it's on track to hit the ground or ocean roughly between 10 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. , ET.
The spacecraft has a substantial heat shield that protects the vehicle from intense temperatures and pressures.
The world is in the midst of a new space race, with commercial companies such as SpaceX launching hundreds of new satellites to orbit each year .
Safety standards have drastically improved since the 20th century space race when the Soviet Venus probe was launched.
