Kosmos 188

  1967-107A

---

Spacecraft 5 had originally been prepared for launch as Soyuz-2 during the Soyuz-1 mission. It was recycled for the automatic docking mission and launched as Kosmos-188. 7K-OK No. 5 (Kosmos-188) completed the first Soviet docking with 7K-OK No. 6 (Kosmos-186), only an hour after its launch on 1967 Oct 30. The docking was only a soft docking; a problem later to surface on Soyuz-10 prevented a complete seal.

The ion orientation system was used for deorbit, but locally low ion flux threw ite sensor off and the entry path was shallow and heading for impact east of Ulan-Ude. The APO self destruct system fired 60 km over Irkutsk.

Interkosmos 24

 1989-080A

---

Interkosmos-24 and its subsatellite Magion-2 were launched as the Aktivniy-IK project to carry out active experiments in the magnetosphere. A plasma wave generator and a neutral gas injector were used to create magnetospheric disturbances whose effects were then measured.

Mass 1400 kg. Size 23m long with antennae, 4.0m span with antennae. The bus was 1.0 x 2.6m in size.
