Spacecraft

Voskhod-3KD No.1 (Voskhod-3KD No.1)

Voskhod spacecraft launched on February 22, 1965.

  • Destination: Low Earth Orbit
  • Mission length: 3 hours

The spacecraft was lost in orbit due to an unauthorised radio signal from a tracking station interfering with legitimate transmission from the ground station causing the retro-engine to fire prematurely, which caused the satellite to spin and finally self distruct.
