Summary

COSMOS 1910 (also known as Kosmos-1910) is a military communication satellite launched on January 15, 1988, from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome Launch Pad LC32/1 using the Tsiklon-3 launch vehicle. It has dimensions of 1.6 meters in length and 0.8 meters in diameter with a span of 7 meters due to its antenna configuration. The satellite's dry mass is 225 kg, which is identical to its launch mass. Manufactured by NPOPM (NPO Mashinostroeniya), it operates using solar cells and batteries for power generation. Its shape is cylindrical with an attached antenna array, and it has a radar cross-section of 1.06 square meters. The satellite was part of the Strela-3 military communication system, which was owned by UNKS (unknown owner) at launch.
