DS-MG No. 2 was the second magnetic field survey satellite,named Kosmos-49 on reaching orbit. It operated for 10 days until the telemetry system failed. A US source claimed it also studied the IR and UV flux from the Earth but I haven’t found this confirmed from Soviet sources. Kosmos-45 did carry such experiments so this US source may have confused or conflated the two satellites.
