1971-106A
IS satellite Kosmos-462 was launched on 1971 Dec 3 from Baikonur. It made a fast pass at perigee of the Kosmos-459 target satellite which had been launched from Plesetsk several days earlier. The satellite then exploded.
The object cataloged as 106B may be the R-36 second stage or else just a fragment; it was in a higher apogee orbit of 167 x 2069 km x 65.8 deg, but TLEs for the following month show a lower apogee and the initial data may be erroneous. 106C/5650 is in the SSR as "SL-11 R/B(1)" and 106M/5664 is "SL-11 R/B(2)".
