Summary
Taifun-1 23 launched on a Soviet Space Program Kosmos-3M (11K65M) from 133/3 (133L), Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation on August 28, 1990. It was Soviet Space Program's 2,369th launch, 53rd this year and humanity's 3,558th orbital launch attempt. It was the 373rd Kosmos-3M (11K65M) flight and the 8th this year. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). Kosmos-2098, one of 2 catalogued objects, reached a 403 × 1,984 km orbit inclined 83.0°. 2 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
