Strela-1M
Strela-1M

Russian military store-dump communications satellite. 3 Military Communication satellite, Russia. Launched 1970 - 1992.

AKA: Mozhaets. Status: Operational 1970. First Launch: 1970-04-25. Last Launch: 2005-10-27. Number: 371 . Gross mass: 61 kg (134 lb). Height: 0.80 m (2.62 ft). Span: 0.75 m (2.46 ft).

The Strela communications system consisted of a constellation of medium orbit store-dump satellites that provided survivable communications for Soviet military and intelligence forces. The operational constellation consisted of several dozen Strela-1M and 8 Strela-2M satellites. The small Strela-1M was used for open information only, and received data uploads from military units, with the messages held and then retransmitted to ground stations when the satellite was over Soviet territory.

The system was developed experimentally in the 1960's, with flight tests from 1964 to 1965. Reshetnev was the chief designer in collaboration with the KB Krasnoyarsk Radio-Technical Factory (V G Taranenko) and MNIIRS MPSS (Yu S Bikov). Flight tests of the operational system began in 1970. Production system work began in 1972. In 1973 the Strela 1M system was accepted by the military.

The Kosmos 3M was the launch vehicle, with eight Strela-1M satellites launched at a time. The eight satellites would be in similar 1500 km altitude orbits with periods varying between 114.5 to 116.0 minutes. The intentional orbital period difference ensured that the satellites would become randomly spaced about the orbital plane shortly after launch. Unlike the Strela-2M lower altitude constellation, this network relied on a single orbital plane with an inclination of 74 degrees, which was replenished on the average once each year.

Strela-1M was replaced by the somewhat larger and more capable Strela-3 beginning in 1985. A total of 360 Strela-1M reached orbit before the satellite was phased out in 1992.
