Kosmos 775 (Russian: Космос 775 meaning Cosmos 775) is a Soviet US-KS missile early warning satellite which was launched in 1975 as part of the Oko programme. The satellite is designed to identify missile launches using optical telescopes and infrared sensors.[1]
Kosmos 775 was launched from Site 81/23 at Baikonur Cosmodrome in the Kazakh SSR.[1] A Proton-K carrier rocket with a DM upper stage was used to perform the launch, which took place at 00:30 UTC on 8 October 1975.[2][3] The launch attempted to place the satellite into geostationary orbit. It subsequently received its Kosmos designation, and the international designator 1975-097A.[2] The United States Space Command assigned it the Satellite Catalog Number 8357.[2][3]
It was the first US-KS satellite and was never operational. Podvig says its orbit was never stabilised,[3] NASA's National Space Science Data Centre says it exploded.[2] The next launch of one of these craft was Kosmos 1546 in 1984.
