Summary
DS-P1-M 4 launched on a Soviet Space Program Kosmos-3M (11K65M) from 132/1 (132L), Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation on March 18, 1971. It was Soviet Space Program's 555th launch, 14th this year and humanity's 1,195th orbital launch attempt. It was the 33rd Kosmos-3M (11K65M) flight and the 3rd this year. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). Kosmos-400, one of 3 catalogued objects, reached a 979 × 1,015 km orbit inclined 65.9°. 3 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
