Re-entered 16 Mar 1966

DS-P1-Yu No. 3L (NORAD 1464, COSPAR 1965-059A) was a SU satellite that re-entered Earth's atmosphere on 16 Mar 1966, launched on 23 Jul 1965 on the DS-P1-Yu No. 3 mission. It was operated by YUZH / PVO as part of the DS-P1-Yu A programme. The spacecraft was built by YUZH on the DS-P1 bus, with a mass of 200 kg. Like most satellites in low orbits, it was gradually slowed by atmospheric drag until re-entry.
