Kosmos 213 (Russian:Космос 213 meaningCosmos 213) was one of a series of SovietSoyuz programme test spacecraft whose purpose was to further test and develop the passenger version. Scientific data and measurements were relayed to earth by multichanneltelemetry systems equipped with space-borne memory units.Kosmos 212 and Kosmos 213 automatically docked in orbit on April 15, 1968. Both spacecraft landed on Soviet territory.
On 15 April 1968 at 09:34:18 GMT,[3] theSoyuz 11A511 s/n U15000-06 booster and Kosmos 213 were set up atSite 1/5 ofBaikonur Cosmodrome and the planned mission could be carried out. Kosmos 213 was operated in a low Earth orbit, it had a perigee of 193 kilometres (120 mi), an apogee of 245 kilometres (152 mi), an inclination of 51.4°, and an orbital period of 89.16 minutes,[2] and had a mass of 6,000 kilograms (13,000 lb).[1]
