Kosmos 191 (ru|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.[1]
A Kosmos-2I 63SM carrier rocket was used to launch Kosmos 191 from Site 133/3 at Plesetsk Cosmodrome.[2] The launch occurred at 14:29:48 GMT on 21 November 1967, and resulted in Kosmos 191's successful deployment into low Earth orbit.[3] Upon reaching orbit, it was assigned its Kosmos designation, and received the International Designator 1967-115A.
Kosmos 191 was operated in an orbit with a perigee of, an apogee of, an inclination of 71.0°, and an orbital period of 92.2 minutes.[4] It was a spacecraft.[5] 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,[1] and the tenth of seventy two to successfully reach orbit.[7]
