Beskrivning : Elektron was one of the earliest Soviet scientific satellite missions to be authorized following the initial Sputnik (D-1) series. The two spacecraft were designed to be deployed in a single launch of a Vostok-K booster. The spacecraft had the specific task of mapping the Van Allen radiation belts at higher inclinations than that achieved by US satellites of the time (60 degrees vs 30 degrees latitude).
