The last launch of a Soviet satellite from the Zenit-2 program. These spy satellites were launched over a period of seven years. This is Kosmos-344 (to confuse matters and cover up military launches, 95% of Soviet launches are designated Kosmos…). Eighty-one Zenit-2 satellite launches were carried out, 58 of which were successful, and 12 failed. The similar Zenit-4 program, however, likely carried out 74 missions (the exact number is unknown).
