Resurs F-2 No. 6 (17F42 No. 6) was launched on a 30 day mission in May 1991. For the first time, a Resurs F mission was flown in a lower orbit of 230 x 235 km instead of the standard 265 km altitude. Frequent trim burns were performed to raise the orbit whenever perigee decayed to arround 220-225 km.
