Soyuz 7K-STM No. 64

Re-entered 19 Mar 1992

Soyuz 7K-STM No. 64 (NORAD 21908, COSPAR 1992-014A) was a RU satellite that re-entered Earth's atmosphere on 19 Mar 1992, launched on 17 Mar 1992 on the Soyuz 7K-STM No. 64 mission. It was operated by NPOE as part of the 7K-STM programme. The spacecraft was built by NPOE on the 7K-STM bus, with a mass of 2,850 kg. Like most satellites in low orbits, it was gradually slowed by atmospheric drag until re-entry.
