1976-034A
Kosmos-814 attempted a first-orbit intercept. The initial orbit put its closest approach 200 km from Kosmos-803. Russian sources claim the intercept was successful; I calculate that a burn at 1735 UTC, over the eastern USSR, could have adjusted the trajectory to 184 x 589 km x 65.77 deg and achieved a 1 km pass at 1806 UTC. Johnson speculated that the intercept orbit was a 556 x 615 km low-speed pass.
