Summary
L1E 2K launched on a Soviet Space Program Proton / UR-500 K/D from 81/23 (81L), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on December 2, 1970. It was Soviet Space Program's 532nd launch, 79th this year and humanity's 1,159th orbital launch attempt. It was the 24th Proton / UR-500 K/D flight and the 5th this year. The payload was bound for Elliptical Orbit (Elliptical). Kosmos-382, one of 8 catalogued objects, reached a 310 × 5,045 km orbit inclined 51.6°. The spacecraft was Soyuz 7K-L1E No.2 (Soyuz 7K-L1E). 8 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.

Spacecraft
Soyuz 7K-L1E No.2 (Soyuz 7K-L1E)
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: Low Earth Orbit
- Mission length: 4 days 7 hours
The Soyuz 7K-L1 spacecraft burned up during re-entry approximately 20 years after the launch.
