Summary
Strela-1M 201-208 launched on a Soviet Space Program Kosmos-3M (11K65M) from 132/1 (132L), Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation on December 23, 1980. It was Soviet Space Program's 1,448th launch, 86th this year and humanity's 2,388th orbital launch attempt. It was the 229th Kosmos-3M (11K65M) flight and the 16th this year. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). Kosmos-1228, one of 9 catalogued objects, reached a 1,398 × 1,470 km orbit inclined 74.0°. 9 objects from this launch are catalogued, 8 of them payloads.
