Beskrivning : Russian military reconnaissance spacecraft that was launched by a Soyuz-U rocket from Baikonur. It was a follow-up to the Tselina 2 (Cosmos 2369) spacecraft which merely intercepted radio transmissions, especially over Chechnya; Cosmos 2370 had photo-reconnaissance resources also, with data arriving in digital form. According to Moscow`s Kommersant newspaper, until this launch, Russia had remained without photo-reconnaissance resources for five months, after the failure of the Kobalt (Cosmos 2365) spacecraft in December 1999.
