Summary
Taifun-1B 6 launched on a Soviet Space Program Kosmos-3M (11K65M) from 132/1 (132L), Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation on October 5, 1983. It was Soviet Space Program's 1,737th launch, 78th this year and humanity's 2,750th orbital launch attempt. It was the 288th Kosmos-3M (11K65M) flight and the 17th this year. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). Kosmos-1502, one of 2 catalogued objects, reached a 375 × 418 km orbit inclined 65.8°. 2 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
