Zenit-2 No. 80 flew an 8 day mission from Plesetsk in Nov 1969. The Kettering group reported that it had capsule telemetry like the Kosmos-208 class Gektor/Zenit-2M missions, although no capsule was tracked, and in 1996 it was revealed that a 3KS Nauka capsule had indeed been carried, the only time a Zenit-2 flight did this. Zenit-2 No. 80 landed 150 km NW of Tselinograd at 53 23 N 70 09 E.
