Kosmos 2427

 2007-022A

---

Kosmos-2427 was launched on 2007 Jun 7 into a standard Kobal't-style orbit. Four days later it raised its orbit to 182 x 354 km; the orbit was then allowed to decay until Jun 19, when it was lowered.

One piece of debris was ejected soon after launch and reentered rapidly. Kosmos-2427 landed on Aug 22, probably around 1745 UTC.
