Kosmos 191 (Russian: Космос 191 meaning Cosmos 191), also known as DS-P1-Yu No.9 was a Soviet satellite which was used as a radar calibration target for tests of anti-ballistic missiles. It was built by the Yuzhnoye Design Office, and launched in 1967 as part of the Dnepropetrovsk Sputnik programme.[3]
A Kosmos-2I 63SM carrier rocket was used to launch Kosmos 191 from Site 133/3 at Plesetsk Cosmodrome.[4] The launch occurred at 14:29:48 GMT on 21 November 1967, and resulted in Kosmos 191's successful deployment into low Earth orbit.[5] Upon reaching orbit, it was assigned its Kosmos designation, and received the International Designator 1967-115A.[1]
Kosmos 191 was operated in an orbit with a perigee of 267 kilometres (166 mi), an apogee of 497 kilometres (309 mi), an inclination of 71.0°, and an orbital period of 92.2 minutes.[2] It was a 325 kilograms (717 lb) spacecraft.[1] It remained in orbit until it decayed and reentered the atmosphere on 2 March 1968.[6] It was the eleventh of seventy nine DS-P1-Yu satellites to be launched,[3] and the tenth of seventy two to successfully reach orbit.[7]
