Summary
Geo-IK 6 launched on a Soviet Space Program Tsiklon-3 from 32/1, Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation on June 14, 1985. It was Soviet Space Program's 1,895th launch, 39th this year and humanity's 2,952nd orbital launch attempt. It was the 33rd Tsiklon-3 flight and the 5th this year. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). Kosmos-1660, one of 3 catalogued objects, reached a 102 × 1,493 km orbit inclined 73.6°. 3 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
