Kosmos 4

  1962-014

---

The first successful Zenit-2 spacecraft, 11F61 No. 2, was launched in Apr 1962 by an 8K72K rocket from Baikonur. The three-axis stabilization system suffered a gas leak and the spacecraft tumbled in orbit. Nevertheless, the satellite was recovered after a three day flight. Results from on board radiation detectors were announced publicly.
