Kosmos 97 (Template:Lang-ru meaning Cosmos 97), also known as DS-U2-M No.1, was a Soviet satellite which was launched in 1965 as part of the Dnepropetrovsk Sputnik programme. It was a 267 kilograms (589 lb) spacecraft, which was built by the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau, and used to conduct tests involving atomic clocks.[4]
A Kosmos-2M 63S1M [5] carrier rocket was used to launch Kosmos 97 into low Earth orbit. The launch took place from Site 86/1 at Kapustin Yar.[6] The launch occurred at 12:14 GMT on 26 November 1965, and resulted in the successful insertion of the satellite into orbit.[7] Upon reaching orbit, the satellite was assigned its Kosmos designation, and received the International Designator 1965-095A. The North American Air Defense Command assigned it the catalogue number 01777.
Kosmos 97 was the first of two DS-U2-M satellites to be launched, the other being Kosmos 145.[8] It was operated in an orbit with a perigee of 213 kilometres (132 mi), an apogee of 2,144 kilometres (1,332 mi), an inclination of 49.0°, and an orbital period of 108.3 minutes. On 2 April 1967, it decayed from orbit and reentered the atmosphere.[9]
