Kosmos 1074

 1979-008A


Kosmos-1074 (7K-ST No. 5L) spent 60 days in space to simulate a long duration Soyuz T mission. The mission had been planned for 90 days, but it was cut short because of a control system failure.

A post reentry TLE set is probably for the orbital module, which is probably cataloged as 11315 (79-008C). Its first assigned elsets are at 1343 UTC on Mar 31, a day before reentry - it is possible that the BO was ejected early as a test or that a planned recovery on Mar 31 was aborted

IRS-P3

 1996-017A


IRS-P3 was launched by PSLV in Mar 1996. Mass of the satellite was 922 kg. As well as the remote sensing instruments, it carried an X-ray astronomy payload. Three proportional counters studied variable X-ray sources in the 2-18 keV band. The first reported results  were measurements of the X-ray pulsar GX1+4 and the superluminal transient GRS 1915+105.
