The spacecraft was equipped with the Priroda-3 camera, which took multi-spectral photographs on black and white and spectro-zonal film.

Decrees of 21 December 1972 started work on this replacement to the Meteor-Priroda system. The project was managed by the State Centre Priroda of the Main Directorate of Geodesy and Cartography of he Soviet Ministers. Kozlov was the General Designer. The camera was built by the Krasnogorsk Mechanical Factory of the Ministry of Defense. Head of the project government commission was Yu P Kienkoof. Film resolution was 20-30 m black and white, 30 to 50 m multispectral. Swath width 180 km; total area of 17 square million km covered per mission. Typical orbital profile: inclination 81.3 degrees, 220-262 km altitude; inclination 82.3 degrees, 215-252 km altitude. Transmission frequencies observed in West: 19.989 FSK; 39.978 FSK; 232.0 PPM-AM.

Spacecraft delta v: 42 m/s (137 ft/sec).
