Beskrivning : Cosmos 272 was a Soviet geodetic satellite launched from the Plesetsk cosmodrome aboard a Cosmos 11 rocket.
The Sfera geodetic system covered a broad development for solving problems in geodetics, continental drift, and precise location of cartographic points. The spacecraft was equipped with measurement and signalling apparatus, providing assistance in measuring astronomical-geodetic points of military topographical research for the Red Army General Staff. The satellite allowed improved accuracy for long range weapons.
