Kosmos 865

 1976-109A

---

Kosmos-865 flew a 12 day mission in Nov 1976. On around Nov 5, two objects were ejected into a 219 x 470 km elliptical orbit. Their RCS values were 0.21 and 0.49 sq m, and they remained in orbit for several months. It's not clear what these objects were - possibly one of them is a small subsatellite.

Soyuz spacecraft number 50 (11F615A8 No. 50, 7K-T No. 50) was hastily modified to correct the problem encountered with No. 49's engine, and launched without a crew to provide the EO-3 astronauts with a fresh ferry vehicle. Lyakhov and Ryumin used it to return to Earth.
