Summary
RADUGA 13 was a communication satellite launched on August 25, 1983, from TYSMC LC200/40 using a Proton-K/DM launch vehicle by GUKOS in the Soviet Union (SU). The spacecraft had dimensions of 5.5 meters in length and 2.5 meters in diameter with a span of 9.5 meters, weighing 1800 kg dry mass at launch and carrying an initial mass of 1965 kg. Equipped with 3 Delta-1 C-Band transponders and 3 Delta-2 C-Band transponders, the satellite was powered by two deployable solar arrays and batteries. Its mission was dedicated to communication purposes and it had a planned operational lifetime of three years. The satellite's structure consisted of a step cylindrical body with two panels, manufactured by NPOPM under the BUS Raduga configuration.
