Kosmos 60

  1965-018A


E-6 probe No. 9 was launched on 1965 Mar 12 and was stranded in Earth orbit. It was given the cover name Kosmos-60. The Blok-L did not ignite due to the I-100 power supply having failed. The payload remained attached to the Blok-L final stage, and reentered after 5 days. The launch went back to use of the 8K78L vehicle with guidance from the probe.
