Russia launches Cosmos cluster of eight satellites
Moscow reports Russia launched eight Cosmos satellites aboard a single carrier, a fourth multiple automatic launch. The sputniks, numbered 504 to 511, carry scientific equipment for space research and orbited within about 115 minutes. No manned mission followed the third multi-launch last October. The event comes as speculation links such clusters to the manned program, though Thursday's orbit differs from Cosmos satellites tied to Soyuz. Soyuz 11 ended in tragedy last June with the deaths of three cosmonauts.
