Kosmos 605

  1973-083A


The first 12KS Bion satellite was launched in Oct 1973 and named Kosmos-605. Bion No. 1 carried a number of biological specimens including turtles and rats. It also carried an electrostatic shielding test to study radiation protection. The life support system malfunctioned and the satellite was returned to Earth early. The Kettering group recorded PDM telemetry from the satellite.
