It was Soviet Space Program's 1,312th launch, 39th this year and humanity's 2,220th orbital launch attempt. It was the 203rd Kosmos-3M (11K65M) flight and the 8th this year. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). The tracked orbit of Kosmos-1104, one of 2 catalogued objects, from June 6, 1979, was 968 × 1,016 km inclined 82.9°. 2 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
