Kosmos 314

Kosmos 314 (Russian: Космос 314 meaning Cosmos 314), known before launch as DS-P1-Yu No.30, was a Soviet satellite which was launched in 1969 as part of the Dnepropetrovsk Sputnik programme. It was a 325-kilogram (717 lb) spacecraft, which was built by the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau, and was used as a radar calibration target for anti-ballistic missile tests.[1]

Launch

Kosmos 314 was launched from Site 133/1 at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome,[2] atop a Kosmos-2I 63SM carrier rocket. The launch occurred on 11 December 1969 at 12:58:59 UTC, and resulted in the successful deployment of Kosmos 314 into low Earth orbit.[3] Upon reaching orbit, it was assigned its Kosmos designation, and received the International Designator 1969-106A.

Kosmos 314 was operated in an orbit with a perigee of 263 kilometres (163 mi), an apogee of 426 kilometres (265 mi), 71 degrees of inclination, and an orbital period of 91.4 minutes.[1][4] It remained in orbit until it decayed and reentered the atmosphere on 22 March 1970.[4] It was the twenty-eighth of seventy nine DS-P1-Yu satellites to be launched,[1] and the twenty-sixth of seventy two to successfully reach orbit.[5]

gollark: My school apparently wants me to come up with rough A-level choices soonish, and I assume some people here might have relevant information on this. So, does anyone know anything possibly relevant about/have experience with the (UK, to clarify, though I don't think anywhere else calls them A-levels) Maths, Physics, and Computer Science A-levels?
gollark: Over here in the UK I pay £9/month for 8GB data and unlimited calls, and could pay £20/month for 1TB data instead. Maybe because the country is smaller so networks don't need as many towers, or maybe because of greater competition.
gollark: I mean, it might not be Russian, IIRC a few languages use that sort of charset.
gollark: Or try and find some sort of Russian OCR thing?
gollark: If you have it as a non-image try google translate or something.
