Kosmos 101 (Russian: Космос 101 meaning Cosmos 101), also known as DS-P1-Yu No.4 was a Soviet satellite which was used as a radar calibration target for tests of anti-ballistic missiles.[3] It was built by the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau, and launched in 1965 as part of the Dnepropetrovsk Sputnik programme.[4]
The launch of Kosmos 101 was conducted using a Kosmos-2I 63S1 carrier rocket,[5] which flew from Site 86/1 at Kapustin Yar. The launch occurred at 06:14 GMT on 21 December 1965.[6]
Kosmos 101 separated from its carrier rocket into a low Earth orbit with a perigee of 254 kilometres (158 mi), an apogee of 539 kilometres (335 mi), an inclination of 49.0°, and an orbital period of 92.4 minutes. It decayed from orbit on 12 July 1966.[7] Kosmos 101 was the fourth of seventy nine DS-P1-Yu satellites to be launched,[4] of which all but seven were successful.
