Interbol 1

 1995-039A


SO-M2 no. 512 (Prognoz-M2) was launched in Aug 1995 and named Interbol-1. The satellite was also known as the Khvostovoy Zond (Interball Tail Probe), for exploration of the magnetotail. The 1250 kg probe carried a 50 kg Magion subsatellite. This was the first Prognoz launch from Plesetsk.
