Beskrivning : Molniya 1/ 9 was a first-generation Russian communications satellite (COMSAT) orbited to test and perfect a system of radio communications and television broadcasting using earth satellites as active transponders and to experiment with the system in practical use. Pictures from Molniya 1/ 9 were used in conjunction with cloudcover pictures taken by the lower orbiting satellites of the `Meteor` weather satellite system to obtain a comprehensive and detailed view of global weather systems. The satellite reentered the atmosphere on May 15, 1971, after 1044 days in orbit.
