Kosmos 1601

 1984-104A

---

Kosmos-1601 resumed Romb launches after a year-long gap. 28 objects instead of the usual 24 were cataloged. The first four objects had much smaller radar cross sections and decayed more rapidly; they may have been targets of a different type or covers for the dispenser system.
