Russian military store-dump communications satellite. Military Communication satellite, Russia. Launched 1964 - 1965.

AKA: 11F610;Pchela. Status: Operational 1964. First Launch: 1964-08-18. Last Launch: 1965-09-18. Number: 29 . Gross mass: 50 kg (110 lb). Height: 0.80 m (2.62 ft). Diameter: 0.12 m (0.39 ft). Span: 0.75 m (2.46 ft).

Prototype of the small satellite element of the Strela system, which consisted of a large constellation of medium orbit store-dump satellites that provided survivable communications for Soviet military and intelligence forces. The system was developed experimentally in the 1960's, with flight tests of 26 of the Strela-1 model from 1964 to 1965. The production Strela-1M was flown beginning in 1970.
