Kosmos 2 was placed into a low Earth orbit with a perigee of 215 kilometres (134 mi), an apogee of 1,488 kilometres (925 mi), an inclination of 49.0°, and an orbital period of 102.5 minutes. [2] It decayed on 20 August 1963. [6] Kosmos 2 was a 1MS satellite, the first of two to be launched. [3]

Kosmos 2501 is a 935-kilogram (2,061 lb) satellite, which was built by ISS Reshetnev based on the Ekspress-1000A satellite bus. The spacecraft has three-axis stabilisation to keep it in the correct orientation, and will broadcast signals in the L1, L2 and L3 navigation bands for Russian military and commercial users. [ 2 ]
A further satellite was launched in the same year. Between 2002 and 2006, there were no Oko launches, until another Oko satellite, designated Kosmos 2422, was launched in July 2006. [7] In 2006, Russia had one operational US-KMO (Kosmos 2379) satellite and four US-K satellites (Kosmos 2422, Kosmos 2393, Kosmos 2351, Kosmos 2368). [7]
This is a list of launches made by the Kosmos rocket family, including both the R-12 and R-14 missiles derived versions.. To summarize, of the R-12-derived missile a total number of 164 were launched between 1961 and 1977 (including 20 failures).
The first Soviet satellites orbiting Earth were named Sputnik, Polyot (starting in 1963), Elektron (in 1964), Proton (in 1965), and Molniya (in 1965), but most have been called Kosmos since Kosmos 1 on 16 March 1962. The program has included uncrewed tests of crewed spacecraft and satellites for scientific research and military purposes. [2]
Kondor No.202 (aka Kosmos 2487, Kondor 1, COSPAR 2013-032A [5]) was operated by the Russian military, [1] and carried a radar imaging payload. [6] It was the first radar imaging satellite to be operated by the Russian military after the Soviet RORSAT and Almaz -T series.
The Kobalt-M was an improved version of the Kobalt satellite and the first one was launched as Kosmos 2410 in 2004. It returned three sets of film during its mission. The first two landed in film return canisters (called SpK - Spuskayemaya Kapsula) and a final set of film returned in the satellite's special equipment module.
