EORSAT, first of three to be stationed at 120 degree intervals on the same orbit with a 143 degree ascending node. However cutbacks in program resulted in the constellation not being completed. Ocean surveillance.
  • 1995 December 20 00:52 - Cosmos 2326 Launch Vehicle: Tsyklon 2. Tsiklon-2 Apogee: 415 km (257 mi). EORSAT, placed in 215 degree ascending node orbital slot. Ocean surveillance; also performed astrophysics research.
  • 1996 December 11 12:00 - Cosmos 2335 Launch Vehicle: Tsyklon 2. Tsiklon-2 Apogee: 418 km (259 mi). EORSAT, second of three to be stationed at 120 degree intervals on the same orbit with a 143 degree ascending node. However cutbacks in program resulted in the constellation not being completed. Still in operation as of December 1997.
  • 1997 December 9 07:17 - Cosmos 2347 Launch Vehicle: Tsyklon 2. Tsiklon-2 Apogee: 417 km (259 mi). EORSAT, in the 217 degree ascending node slot. Still in operation as of December 1997.
  • 1999 December 26 08:00 - Cosmos 2367 Launch Vehicle: Tsyklon 2. Tsiklon-2 801 (45082801) Apogee: 418 km (259 mi). Passive naval electronic intelligence satellite. The satellite was placed in an initial 147 km x 442 km orbit at 65 degree inclination. The US-PM's propulsion module fired at apogee to circularize the orbit. Replaced the only previous remaining US-PM satellite which ended operations in November and reentered earlier in December 1999.
  • 2001 December 21 04:00 - Cosmos 2383 Launch Vehicle: Tsyklon 2. Tsiklon-2 Apogee: 415 km (257 mi). Signal Intelligence Satellite. Launch delayed December 19. The booster put the satellite into an initial orbit of 145 x 405 km x 65.0 deg. At apogee the satellite ignited its own propulsion system to increase velocity by about 70-80 m/s and circularize the orbit.
  • 2004 May 28 06:00 - Cosmos 2405 Launch Vehicle: Tsyklon 2. Apogee: 417 km (259 mi). Original reported name Cosmos 2407.
  • 2006 June 24 - Cosmos 2421 Launch Vehicle: Tsyklon 2.
