Summary
DS-U2-IK 5 launched on a Soviet Space Program Kosmos-3M (11K65M) from 132/2, Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation on October 31, 1974. It was Soviet Space Program's 871st launch, 70th this year and humanity's 1,630th orbital launch attempt. It was the 95th Kosmos-3M (11K65M) flight and the 15th this year. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). Interkosmos-12, one of 4 catalogued objects, reached a 299 × 721 km orbit inclined 75.0°. 4 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
