Summary
Kosmos 146 launched on a Soviet Space Program Proton / UR-500 K/D from 81/23 (81L), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on March 10, 1967. It was Soviet Space Program's 224th launch, 9th this year and humanity's 671st orbital launch attempt. It was the 1st Proton / UR-500 K/D flight. The payload was bound for Elliptical Orbit (Elliptical). Kosmos-146, one of 3 catalogued objects, reached a 188 × 301 km orbit inclined 51.4°. The spacecraft was Soyuz 7K-L1 No.2 (Soyuz 7K-L1 #2). 3 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.

Spacecraft
Soyuz 7K-L1 No.2 (Soyuz 7K-L1 #2)
The Soyuz 7K-L1 "Zond" spacecraft was designed to launch men from the Earth to circle the Moon without going into lunar orbit in the context of the Soviet crewed Moon-flyby program in the Moon race. It was based on the Soyuz 7K-OK.
- Destination: Elliptical Earth Orbit
- Mission length: 7 days 12 hours
The Soyuz 7K-L1 spacecraft was sent on a no-return deep space trajectory.
