Summary
Taifun-1 8 launched on a Soviet Space Program Kosmos-3M (11K65M) from 132/1 (132L), Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation on July 22, 1977. It was Soviet Space Program's 1,136th launch, 56th this year and humanity's 1,986th orbital launch attempt. It was the 162nd Kosmos-3M (11K65M) flight and the 17th this year. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). The tracked orbit of Kosmos-933, one of 2 catalogued objects, from July 31, 1977, was 390 × 414 km inclined 65.8°. 2 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
