Kosmos 44

  1964-053A


The first 11F614 Meteor satellite was launched on 1964 Aug 28. It carried an imaging radiometer to study cloud cover. Launch was by a Vostok rocket from Baikonur into a 65 degree orbit. The Blok-E stage appears to have overburned since the 857 km apogee is much higher than for later Meteor launches.
