Summary
DS-U2-IK 6 launched on a Soviet Space Program Kosmos-3M (11K65M) from 132/1 (132L), Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation on March 27, 1975. It was Soviet Space Program's 903rd launch, 17th this year and humanity's 1,674th orbital launch attempt. It was the 101st Kosmos-3M (11K65M) flight and the 4th this year. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). Interkosmos-13, one of 2 catalogued objects, reached a 292 × 1,695 km orbit inclined 82.9°. 2 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
