Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan
July 20, 1966, 8:58 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:

US-A (Upravlenniye Sputnik Aktivny) were active radar satellites for ocean surveillance. The high power consumtion of the active radar required a nuclear reactor as power source. The satellites were known as RORSAT in the west. The US-AO series consisted of satellites, which tested all the system components but the nuclear reactor. They were battery powered.
