Kosmos 1546

 1984-031A


In Mar 1984 the first of a new generation of early warning satellites was launched to geostationary orbit. It is believed that Kosmos-1546 was a modified Oko satellite. After some months drifting it was placed on station at 24W in 1984 Jun. In early 1986 orbital data show the satellite moved to 80E and in mid-1986 the satellite ceased stationkeeping and drifted off station.

The satellite carried the TP infrared direction sensor.
