Beskrivning : Cosmos 209 was a Soviet nuclear powered Radar Ocean Reconnaissance Satellite (RORSAT) launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome aboard a Tsyklon 2 rocket. The RORSATs searched the oceans for US Navy task forces and other shipping. Cosmos 209, a maneuverable satellite, orbited the earth on a low orbit. The nuclear power source was boosted to a higher orbit (apogee 944, perigee 891) by a small solid rocket when the satellites mission was over.
