Cosmos 2143-2148, 1991-033A-F
A multiple launch of an Tsyklon from Plesetsk Cosmodrome on the the 16th May 1991 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.
Solar A (Yohkoh), 1991-062A
A 420kg mini-satellite launched from Kagoshima on the 30th August 1991 on a M3S2 launcher. The spacecraft investigates solar phenomena and performs X-ray imaging.
Cosmos 2157-2162, 1991-077A-F
A multiple launch of an Tsyklon from Plesetsk Cosmodrome on the the 28th September 1991 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) for SMOLSAT (Russia). The spacecraft wil provide military services of data transfer and photo reconnoissance.
Cosmos 2165-2170, 1991-077A-F
