Kosmos 1699

 1985-101A

Kosmos-1699 was launched one week after the landing of the previous mission. For the first month the usual circa 170 x 350 km orbital regime was used, but in December the satellite was operated in a less elliptical orbit of circa 180 x 295 km.

Kosmos 929

 1977-066A

---

The first TKS test flight, Kosmos-929, used VA No. 009/2, the third model 009 flight article. The analysis of Philip Clark suggests a VA landing around 1954 UTC on Aug 16 or 1931 UTC on Aug 17; I prefer the latter date which is consistent with the 17 Aug date given in Khrunichev's 90-year history.
