Main article: List of Kosmos satellites

The designation Kosmos (Russian: Космос meaning Cosmos) is a generic name given to a large number of Soviet, and subsequently Russian, satellites, the first of which was launched in 1962. Satellites given Kosmos designations include military spacecraft, failed probes to the Moon and the planets, prototypes for crewed spacecraft, and scientific spacecraft. This is a list of satellites with Kosmos designations between 751 and 1000.

14:01		 Kosmos-3M 11K65M Navsat System satellite.[9] in orbit Plesetsk launch. Orbit 964 x 1,010 km. Inclination 83 degrees. Weight-possibly 700 kg. First satellite acknowledged as part of Navsat System.[10] Kosmos 1000 shape was a cylinder with a dome at each end (this was probably the standard small Kosmos satellite), all enclosed in a drum shaped solar panel, length and diameter about 2 meters.[11] Ship locations were believed to be precision computed using the Doppler Effect.[12]
* — satellite was destroyed in orbit rather than decaying and burning up in the Earth's atmosphere
