Kosmos 865

 1976-109A


Kosmos-865 flew a 12 day mission in Nov 1976. On around Nov 5, two objects were ejected into a 219 x 470 km elliptical orbit. Their RCS values were 0.21 and 0.49 sq m, and they remained in orbit for several months. It's not clear what these objects were - possibly one of them is a small subsatellite.
