1970-089A
The third IS satellite intercepted the Kosmos-373 target on the second revolution, and then exploded. The TLEs are consistent with a launch directly into the intercept orbit. The IS initially entered a 530 x 1052 km orbit and then at the time of the explosion entered an orbit with 2100 km apogee.
