The phenomenon was spotted by the cameras of BRAMON, the <a href=\"http:\/\/bramonmeteor.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brazilian Meteor Observation Network<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/climaaovivo.com.br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Clima ao Vivo<\/a>, and also by several people who recorded in its cell phones the the incandescent fragmentation of the satellite in sky.

Many thought it was a meteor or just another pass from SpaceX&#8217;s Starlink satellites. But, from the analysis of the videos, BRAMON concluded that it was the re-entry of the Cosmos 1437 satellite (NORAD id 13770).<\/p>\n<p>Cosmos 1437 was a Soviet spy satellite launched on January 20, 1983 in a Vostok-2M rocket from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in the former Soviet Union. Its orbit had been deteriorating for some time and its re-entry was scheduled to take place this Monday night, January 3, 2022. Both the time, trajectory and characteristics of the fireball sighted in southern Brazil are compatible with re-entry of Cosmos 1437.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3936\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3936\" data-attachment-id=\"3936\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.bramonmeteor.org\/bramon\/en\/reentrada-de-satelite-sovietico-de-39-anos-flagrada-no-sul-do-brasil\/cosmos001\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.bramonmeteor.org\/bramon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cosmos001.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"780,603\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Sat\u00e9lite Cosmos 1437 antes do lan\u00e7amento &#8211; Cr\u00e9ditos: Anatoly Zak \/ RussianSpaceWeb.com\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Sat\u00e9lite Cosmos 1437 antes do lan\u00e7amento &#8211; Cr\u00e9ditos: Anatoly Zak \/ RussianSpaceWeb.com&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.bramonmeteor.org\/bramon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cosmos001.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.bramonmeteor.org\/bramon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cosmos001.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3936\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bramonmeteor.org\/bramon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cosmos001.jpg\" alt=\"Sat\u00e9lite Cosmos 1437 antes do lan\u00e7amento - Cr\u00e9ditos: Anatoly Zak \/ RussianSpaceWeb.com\" width=\"780\" height=\"603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bramonmeteor.org\/bramon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cosmos001.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.bramonmeteor.org\/bramon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cosmos001.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bramonmeteor.org\/bramon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cosmos001.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3936\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A satellite like Cosmos 1437 before launch &#8211; Credits: Anatoly Zak \/ RussianSpaceWeb.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It&#8217;s very difficult to predict the exact time and location of an object&#8217;s re-entry, but Aerospace has managed to do this with enviable accuracy.
