Summary
AUOS-Z-R-P-IK 1 launched on a Soviet Space Program Kosmos-3M (11K65M) from 132/2, Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation on November 1, 1979. It was Soviet Space Program's 1,355th launch, 82nd this year and humanity's 2,273rd orbital launch attempt. It was the 212th Kosmos-3M (11K65M) flight and the 17th this year. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). Interkosmos-20, one of 2 catalogued objects, reached a 468 × 525 km orbit inclined 74.0°. 2 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
