Summary

COSMOS 2410, also known as Kosmos-2410, is a reconnaissance satellite launched by Russia on September 24, 2004. It operates under the Yantar'-4K2M bus and consists of a main reentry module along with two small reentry capsules. The spacecraft was manufactured by ARSL (Aviation Scientific Research Institute) and owned by KVR. With dimensions of 6.3 meters in length, 2.7 meters in diameter, and the same span, COSMOS 2410 has a dry mass of 3,186 kg, which is also its launch mass. It was deployed using a Soyuz-U-PVB rocket from LC16/2 at the Plesetsk Launch Site. The mission's objective was to conduct photo reconnaissance with film return capabilities. Equipped with two deployable solar arrays and batteries for power generation, the satellite operated for approximately 130 days before completing its mission.
