The Russian military satellite "Kosmos-2525" descended from near-Earth orbit and burned up in the atmosphere, TASS reports, referring to the Command of the Aerospace Defense of North America.

According to the agency, the spacecraft stopped being tracked on April 1. It is known that, most likely, the satellite burned up in the dense layers of the atmosphere, being over the Pacific Ocean.

According to a study by analyst Bart Hendricks, published in August 2020 in the American magazine The Space Review, the Experimental Small Spacecraft (EMKA) "Kosmos-2525" is a simplified predecessor of the secret reconnaissance satellite "Run-up", created by the VNIIEM Corporation.

The Kosmos-2525 satellite was launched by a Soyuz-2.1 v medium rocket from the Plesetsk cosmodrome in March 2018.
