Kosmos 347


Kosmos 347 ( meaning "Cosmos 347"), known before launch as DS-P1-Yu No.35, was a Soviet satellite which was launched in 1970 as part of the Dnepropetrovsk Sputnik programme. It was a spacecraft, which was built by the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau, and was used as a radar calibration target for anti-ballistic missile tests. Kosmos 347 was launched from Site 86/4 at Kapustin Yar, atop a Kosmos-2I 63SM carrier rocket. The launch occurred on 12 June 1970 at 09:30:02 UTC, and resulted in the successful deployment

9, in the aim of becoming the first Mars orbiter. As it was, Mariner 8 was lost in a launch failure two days before Kosmos 419 was launched, and Mariner 9 went on to become the first spacecraft to orbit Mars. Kosmos 419 was one of three "Mars" spacecraft launched by the Soviet Union in 1971, the others being Mars 2 and Mars 3; launched days after Kosmos 419. Unlike the 4M spacecraft, Mars 2 and 3, Kosmos 419 was a 3MS spacecraft which consisted only of

of Kosmos 347 into low Earth orbit. Upon reaching orbit, it was assigned its Kosmos designation, and received the International Designator 1970-043A. Kosmos 347 was the thirty-third of seventy nine DS-P1-Yu satellites to be launched, and the thirtieth of seventy two to successfully reach orbit. It was operated in an orbit with a perigee of , an apogee of , 48.4 degrees of inclination, and an orbital period of 107.1 minutes. It remained in orbit until it decayed and reentered the atmosphere on 7 November 1971.

Veteran enthusiast Robert Christy suggests this may have been an error due to confusion with a TKS spacecraft which later became Kosmos 1686. Astronautix.com suggests that the spacecraft may have gone out of control shortly after launch, but then been recovered after the Kosmos designation had been applied. Alternatively, it could have been given the designation as it was used to test modifications that would be used on future Progress missions. Some news
