Launch
Kosmos 295 was launched from Site 133/1 at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome,[2] atop a Kosmos-2I 63SM carrier rocket. The launch occurred on 22 August 1969 at 14:14:57 UTC, and resulted in Kosmos 295's successful deployment into low Earth orbit.[3] Upon reaching orbit, it was assigned its Kosmos designation, and received the International Designator 1969-073A.
Kosmos 295 was operated in an orbit with a perigee of Script error: No such module "convert"., an apogee of Script error: No such module "convert"., 70.9 degrees of inclination, and an orbital period of 91.5 minutes.[1][4] It remained in orbit until it decayed and reentered the atmosphere on 1 December 1969.[4] It was the twenty-fourth of seventy nine DS-P1-Yu satellites to be launched,[1] and the twenty-second of seventy two to successfully reach orbit.[5] Kosmos 295 replaced the previous DS-P1-Yu satellite, #23, which had failed to reach orbit due to a problem with the second stage of its carrier rocket.[1]
