Kosmos 2467 (Russian: Космос 2467 meaning Cosmos 2467) is one of a pair of Russian military communications satellites which were launched in 2010 by the Russian Space Forces. It was launched with Kosmos 2468 and a Gonets-M civilian communication satellite.
Launch
Kosmos 2467 was launched from Site 133/3 at Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia. It was launched by a Rockot carrier rocket with a Briz-KM upper stage at 03:30 UTC on 8 September 2010. The launch successfully placed the satellites into low Earth orbit. It subsequently received its Kosmos designations, and the international designators 2010-043B. The United States Space Command assigned it the Satellite Catalog Number 37153.[2]
Strela-3 and Rodnik
Kosmos 2467 and Kosmos 2468 are Strela-3 communications satellite. One of them is a Strela-3, and one is a Strela-3M. It is not known which is which.[1] They are described as store-dump communications satellites which receive information from the ground when they pass overhead, and store that information until they pass over the ground station they deliver the information to.[3]: 15 The satellites are in low Earth orbit going round the Earth every 116 minutes.[2][4] A full deployment of Strela-3 craft should consist of twelve satellites.[3]: 15 One satellite has the GRAU index of 17F13, as a Strela-3, and the other has a GRAU index of 17F132 as a Strela-3M.[1][5]
Strela-3 has a civilian variant called Gonets which is used by the Russian government for communication in remote areas. It can take between two minutes and six hours to deliver messages.[6]
The previous satellites of this class, Kosmos 2451, Kosmos 2452 and Kosmos 2453 were launched together in July 2009.[5][7]
