Kosmos 358

  1970-064A


Kosmos-358 was launched to a low, 95.2 min orbit at 74 degrees in Aug 1970. Although placed in the same orbit as Tselina ferret satellites, it remained in orbit much longer, implying a larger mass to surface ratio. It's probable that it was a test flight of the Lira antisatellite target, since the VKS claims the first Lira test flight was in Aug 1970.
