Descripción : Cosmos 121 was the tenth Russian experimental meteorologcal satellite and the first launched from the Plesetsk site. Although the satellite was intended primarily for nonscientific reconnaissance purposes, it carried supplemental equipment for conducting meteorological studies to aid in the development of instruments for operational meteorological satellites. The primary meteorological objective of the Cosmos 121 mission was to measure the intensity of reflected and scattered radiation in the 0.6- to 0.8-micron band to determine the spatial variation of the radiation spectrum in the mesoscale range.
