1MS n°2

Wiki

In 1962, OKB-1 launched four MS-type satellites. Almost nothing is known about these satellites, whose official mission was to carry out "investigations". The 2MS were in charge of studying the polar auroras. It would seem that these satellites were also intended to test technologies related to space flights. They were built in two versions: 1MS and 2MS. They were put into orbit by Cosmos launchers (63S1) of Mikhaïl YANGUEL's OKB-586. The fourth launch, that of the second 1MS, ended in failure.
