Kosmos 22

  1963-045A


The first 11F69 satellite, Zenit-4 No. 1, was launched in Nov 1963 as Kosmos-22. It used the new 11A57 launch vehicle, later named Voskhod, which was the interplanetary 8K78 without the Blok-L fourth stage. The test flight lasted 6 days, in an orbit similar to that used by the Zenit-2 satellites. The Zenit-4 probably carried higher resolution cameras than the Zenit-2.
