Kosmos 1026

 1978-069A


Energiya 13KS No. 2 (Kosmos-1026) was launched on 1978 Jul 2 by Soyuz-U from Baykonur. It flew a 4 day flight in a 207 x 248 km x 51.8 deg orbit, a profile identical to that of Interkosmos-6 and distinctly different from either reconnaissance missions or Soyuz test flights. Research results were not publicly announced until May 2020.
