Kosmos 165 (Russian: Космос 165 meaning Cosmos 165), also known as DS-P1-Yu No.11 was a radar calibration target satellite which was used by the Soviet Union for tests of anti-ballistic missiles. It was a 400 kilograms (880 lb) spacecraft,[1] which was built by the Yuzhnoye Design Office, and launched in 1967 as part of the Dnepropetrovsk Sputnik programme.[3]
Kosmos 165 was launched using a Kosmos-2I 63SM carrier rocket, which flew from Site 133/3 at Plesetsk Cosmodrome.[4] The launch occurred at 18:06:00 GMT on 12 June 1967.[5]
Kosmos 165 separated from its carrier rocket into a low Earth orbit with a perigee of 198 kilometres (123 mi), an apogee of 1,515 kilometres (941 mi), an inclination of 81.9°, and an orbital period of 102.1 minutes.[2] It decayed from orbit on 15 January 1968.[6] Kosmos 165 was the eighth of seventy nine DS-P1-Yu satellites to be launched,[3] and the seventh of seventy two to successfully reach orbit.[7]
