Kosmos 1045

 1978-100A


Kosmos-1045 was a mockup (GVM) of a Meteor-2 satellite, launched on a test flight of the Tsiklon-3 launch vehicle. It carried small solar panels and also carried a DOSAAF amateur radio payload which was given the callsign RS-2 (originally it was to be RS-3.)

The satellite released the Radio-1 and Radio-2 amateur satellites. Object E, cataloged around Dec 1978, has only a few element sets which have epochs in mid 1980. Later element sets attributed to this object are in a lower orbit and belong to a Strela-1M launch.

Kosmos 374

  1970-089A


The third IS satellite intercepted the Kosmos-373 target on the second revolution, and then exploded. The TLEs are consistent with a launch directly into the intercept orbit. The IS initially entered a 530 x 1052 km orbit and then at the time of the explosion entered an orbit with 2100 km apogee.

Gambit 7

  1964-020A


KH-7 number 7 was launched on 1964 Apr 23 by Atlas Agena D from Point Arguello into a 150 x 336 km x 103.6 deg orbit. The Agena D 4805 stage was not separately cataloged but four debris objects were tracked. A horizon sensor problem led to 4-mile offsets in the image targeting.
