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
