Kosmos 335 ( Russian : Космос 335 meaning Cosmos 335 ), also known as DS-U1-R No.1 , was a Soviet satellite which was launched in 1970 as part of the Dnepropetrovsk Sputnik programme. It was a 295-kilogram (650 lb) spacecraft, ^[1] which was built by the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau , and was used to study spectral ranges in the Earth's atmosphere. ^[1]

Launch [ edit ]

A Kosmos-2I 63SM carrier rocket was used to launch Kosmos 335 into orbit. The launch took place from Site 86/4 at Kapustin Yar . ^[2] The launch occurred at 22:24:48 UTC on 24 April 1970, and resulted in the successfully insertion of the satellite into low Earth orbit . ^[3] Upon reaching orbit, the satellite was assigned its Kosmos designation, and received the International Designator 1970-035A. ^[4] The North American Aerospace Defense Command assigned it the catalogue number 04380.

Orbit [ edit ]

Kosmos 335 was one of the DS-U1-R satellites. ^[1]^[5] It was operated in an orbit with a perigee of 247 kilometres (153 mi), an apogee of 391 kilometres (243 mi), 48.4 degrees of inclination , and an orbital period of 90.9 minutes. ^[6] It completed operations on 20 June 1970. ^[7] On 22 June 1970, it decayed from orbit and reentered the atmosphere. ^[6]
