List of Kosmos satellites (1251–1500)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The designation Kosmos (Russian: Космос meaning Cosmos) is a generic name given to a large number of Soviet, and subsequently Russian, satellites, the first of which was launched in 1962. Satellites given Kosmos designations include military spacecraft, failed probes to the Moon and the planets, prototypes for crewed spacecraft, and scientific spacecraft. This is a list of satellites with Kosmos designations between 1251 and 1500.

Tsyklon-3 11K68 Ocean Surveillance.[22] in orbit Plesetsk launch. Orbit 634 x 679km. Inclination 82.6 degrees. First USSR satellite equipped with (Side-looking Satellite Radar)-Resolution 1.5-2.0km, Swath Width 450-500km. Used for ocean surface observations. In December 1983 data from was used to map escape routes for a lot of Soviet ships trapped in heavy Arctic ice in the near Wrangel Island. provided images of Typhoon Ida near the coast of Japan showing the structure of the waves. Pictures also showed an apparent oil slick greater than 300km extended from Tokyo Bay.[23]
* — satellite was destroyed in orbit rather than decaying and burning up in the Earth's atmosphere
