Summary
Sfera 14 launched on a Soviet Space Program Kosmos-3M (11K65M) from 132/1 (132L), Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation on September 24, 1975. It was Soviet Space Program's 953rd launch, 67th this year and humanity's 1,744th orbital launch attempt. It was the 111th Kosmos-3M (11K65M) flight and the 14th this year. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). Kosmos-770, one of 2 catalogued objects, reached a 1,176 × 1,207 km orbit inclined 82.9°. 2 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
