Summary

AUOS-Z-T-IK 1 launched on a Soviet Space Program Kosmos-3M (11K65M) from 132/1 (132L), Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation on June 19, 1976. It was Soviet Space Program's 1,019th launch, 40th this year and humanity's 1,840th orbital launch attempt. It was the 130th Kosmos-3M (11K65M) flight and the 13th this year. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). The tracked orbit of Interkosmos-15, one of 2 catalogued objects, from June 23, 1976, was 490 × 524 km inclined 74.0°. 2 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
