Sich-1
Sich-1 was a Ukrainian Earth-observation, operational-oceanography, and space-science mission.[1][2] It launched on 1995-08-31 on Cyclone-3 from Plesetsk and operated in drifting low Earth orbit at about 650 km altitude and 82.5 degrees inclination.[1][2] The spacecraft carried Kondor, MSU-SK, MWR Okean, RLSBO, and RM-08 payloads for data collection, multispectral visible and infrared imaging, microwave radiometry, side-looking radar, and passive microwave scanning.[2][3] Mission applications covered operational oceanography, environmental monitoring, floods, vegetation, soil pollution, snow cover, and ionosphere or magnetosphere science.[1] The mission ended on 2001-12-14.[2]
