Mission details:

Resurs-OE No. 3-2, a Soviet remote sensing satellite codenamed Cosmos-1484, reentered on Jan 28, 2013 sometime around 0230 UTC over the eastern United States. The satellite was launched in 1983 and ended operations in 1984; in 1993 it partially disintegrated (probably a battery explosion?) generating 48 pieces of cataloged space debris.
