Summary
AUOS-Z-R-E-IK 1 launched on a Soviet Space Program Kosmos-3M (11K65M) from 132/1 (132L), Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation on September 24, 1977. It was Soviet Space Program's 1,159th launch, 79th this year and humanity's 2,015th orbital launch attempt. It was the 165th Kosmos-3M (11K65M) flight and the 20th this year. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). Interkosmos-17, one of 3 catalogued objects, reached a 473 × 521 km orbit inclined 83.0°. 3 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
