Anik B1

 1978-116A

---

Telesat Canada's Anik B (Telesat D to NASA) satellite was a hybrid (C and Ku band) comsat, using RCA's Satcom bus. It began operations in Feb 1979, with the Ku-band transponders leased to the Dept. of Communications for two years for a variety of experimental projects. Commercial use at Ku-band began in Sep 1980. Anik B was stationed at 109W.

Progress M-15

 1992-071A

Progress M 11F615A55 No. 215 (Progress M-15) was launched in Oct 1992. The Znamya-2 solar sail experiment was deployed Feb 4 for 3 days attached to PM15 for light reflection experiments. Znamya-2 was a 40 kg structure, including a 4 kg 22m dia disk of aluminized mylar. It was deployed using centrifugal force with Progress in spin-stabilized mode. Progress then pointed Znamya to reflect a 5km circle of light onto Europe. All 8 segments deployed completely.

Kosmos 265A

 1969-U03

---

The fifth US-A test satellite was launched in Jan 1969 from Baykonur. The two stage 11K67 launch vehicle operated successfully, but the payload's own orbit insertion motor failed and the satellite reentered over the Pacific. The satellite carried a reactor simulator.

(Some reports say it was the 11K67 second stage that failed).

If the delta-V is similar to the US-P DU, the orbit had a mildly negative perigee; no lower than -200 km (to make it reach the Pacific) and probably no higher than 40 km. However, other models give a lower perigee of -800 km.
