Kosmos 652

  1974-030A

---

Kosmos-652 flew an 8 day flight in a 51.8 degree orbit. Because of the unusual profile it was at one point suggested that Kosmos-652 might have been a 7K (Soyuz) test flight, but it was in fact a Zenit-4MK satellite, the first at this inclination.

The first launch of 1983 was a Parus which was originally going to carry a KOSPAS transceiver. Although launch schedule issues forced the delay of the transceiver to another mission, it was decided to proceed with the Parus launch.

Kosmos 1990

 1989-002A

Resurs F-2 17F42 No. 3 was launched in Jan 1989 as Kosmos-1990. The spacecraft was reported to have imaged Armenia and other seismically active regions during its 30 day flight. On Feb 6 it lowered its perigee to only 176 km for high resolution imagery, an unprecedented orbit for a Resurs-F mission. It was recovered five days later on Feb 11.

Mission 3 was launched on 1980 Feb 7 to a 1252LTDN SSO (the `East plane' in Ted Molczan's analysis) and raised its perigee on Feb 9 to 309 km, the highest initial orbit yet. At the end of 1981 the spacecraft moved to an even higher orbit.
