List of Kosmos satellites (1–250)
The designation Kosmos (Russian: Космос meaning Cosmos) is a generic name given to a large number of Soviet, and subsequently Russian, satellites, the first of which was launched in 1962. Satellites given Kosmos designations include military spacecraft, failed probes to the Moon and the planets, prototypes for crewed spacecraft, and scientific spacecraft. This is a list of satellites with Kosmos designations between 1 and 250.

The first satellite to study heat emission from Earth and its atmosphere. An Antarctic ice map was able to be made. Moisture content of the atmosphere was able to be recorded. Central points of intensive precipitation hidden by dense clouds were able to be discovered. Water surface temperatures for large parts of the Pacific Ocean were able to be mapped in less than the time of one orbit. Kosmos 243 was probably recovered after 11 days.[6] |
