Kosmos 191(Russian:Космос 191meaningCosmos 191), also known asDS-P1-Yu No.9was aSovietsatellitewhich was used as a radar calibration target for tests ofanti-ballistic missiles.It was built by theYuzhnoye Design Office,and launched in 1967 as part of theDnepropetrovsk Sputnikprogramme.[3]
AKosmos-2I63SM carrier rocket was used to launch Kosmos 191 fromSite 133/3atPlesetsk Cosmodrome.[4]The launch occurred at 14:29:48 GMT on 21 November 1967, and resulted in Kosmos 191's successful deployment intolow Earth orbit.[5]Upon reaching orbit, it was assigned itsKosmosdesignation, and received theInternational Designator1967-115A.[1]
Kosmos 191 was operated in an orbit with aperigeeof 267 kilometres (166 mi), anapogeeof 497 kilometres (309 mi), aninclinationof 71.0°, and anorbital periodof 92.2 minutes.[2]It was a 325 kilograms (717 lb) spacecraft.[1]It remained in orbit until itdecayedand reentered the atmosphere on 2 March 1968.[6]It was the eleventh of seventy nineDS-P1-Yusatellites to be launched,[3]and the tenth of seventy two to successfully reach orbit.[7]
