Cosmos Satellite

Japanese: コスモス衛星 - コスモスえいせい

A series of artificial satellites from the former Soviet Union and Russia. The first was launched on March 16, 1962. It was announced as a plan for scientific observation of outer space, including the ionosphere, radioactive belts, cosmic rays, solar radiation, and meteor dust, but it is believed to have also included development experiments for weather satellites, communication satellites, manned satellites, and reconnaissance satellites, as well as orbital nuclear weapon tests. It has included several simultaneous launches of satellites, such as the triplet satellites 36, 37, and 38 launched in August 1964, and in October 1967, the world's first successful automatic docking was achieved between 186 and 188. In 1981, an attack experiment was conducted between the anti-satellite test satellite (killer satellite) 1258 and the target 1241. In the first half of 1989, it exceeded 2000 satellites, and launches have continued even after it became Russia.

旧ソ連，ロシアの一連の人工衛星。1962年３月16日に１号を打ち上げた。電離層，放射能帯，宇宙線，太陽放射線，流星塵(じん)など宇宙空間の科学観測のための計画と発表されたが，気象衛星，通信衛星，有人衛星，偵察衛星などの開発実験をも含み，軌道核兵器の実験も含まれていると推定される。1964年８月打上げの36，37，38号の三つ子衛星のような同時発射衛星が数回含まれ，1967年10月には世界で初めて186号と188号の間で自動ドッキングに成功。1981年には衛星攻撃実験衛星（キラー衛星）である1258号とターゲットの1241号との間で攻撃実験が行われた。1989年前半で2000号を越え，ロシアになってからも打上げが続けられている。
