Kosmos 32

  1964-029A

---

Zenit-2 No. 18 was the first launch by the Soviet Union into a 51 degree inclination orbit from Baikonur; all previous launches had used the 65 degrees inaugurated by Sputnik. The 51 degree inclination would later be characteristic of Soyuz piloted space missions, but was initially used for Zenit reconnaissance missions as well, particularly in the summer months.
