Summary
Taifun-1B 5 launched on a Soviet Space Program Kosmos-3M (11K65M) from 132/1 (132L), Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation on May 19, 1983. It was Soviet Space Program's 1,696th launch, 37th this year and humanity's 2,693rd orbital launch attempt. It was the 281st Kosmos-3M (11K65M) flight and the 10th this year. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). Kosmos-1463, one of 2 catalogued objects, reached a 306 × 1,558 km orbit inclined 83.0°. 2 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
