Cosmos 1994-1999, 1989-009A-F
A multiple launch of an Tsyklon from Plesetsk Cosmodrome on the the 10th February 1989 put six spacecraft into a 1415km orbit inclined at 82.6 degrees, The spacecraft form part of the military constellation for the Russian Federation Ministry of Defense (MO RF). The spacecraft use the STRELA-3 bus, weigh 231kg each and are designed for a five year lifetime by NPO Applied Mechanics (NPO Prikladnoi Mekhaniki of Krasnoyarsk, Russia). The spacecraft will provide military services of data transfer and photo reconnoissance in the Locsyst communications system.
