Kosmos 95 (Russian:Космос 95 meaningCosmos 95), also known asDS-U2-V No.2, was aSovietsatellite which was launched in 1965 as part of theDnepropetrovsk Sputnik programme. The spacecraft weighed 325 kilograms (717 lb),[3] and was built by theYuzhnoye Design Office, and was used to conduct classified technology development experiments for the Soviet armed forces.[3]
AKosmos-2M 63S1M[4]carrier rocket was used to launch Kosmos 95 intolow Earth orbit. The launch took place fromSite 86/1 atKapustin Yar.[5] The launch occurred at 05:31 GMT on 4 November 1965, and resulted in the successful insertion of the satellite into orbit.[6] Upon reaching orbit, the satellite was assigned itsKosmos designation, and received theInternational Designator 1965-088A. TheNorth American Air Defense Command assigned it thecatalogue number 01706.[7]
Kosmos 95 was the second of fourDS-U2-V satellites to be launched.[3][8] It was operated in an orbit with aperigee of 211 kilometres (131 mi), anapogee of 521 kilometres (324 mi), aninclination of 48.4°, and anorbital period of 91.7 minutes.[9] On 18 January 1966, itdecayed from orbit andreentered the atmosphere.[9][10]
