Kosmos 404

  1971-027A


Kosmos-404 was launched in Apr 1971 and intercepted Kosmos-400 on its second revolution, with a slow pass. It was maneuvered to a lower orbit and then deorbited. Orbital data from Apr 5 and 6 may refer to a fragment from the second stage or the DU; 1971-27D appears to be the same object.
