Foton

Foton
Foton satellite in its assembly hall, with its booster and payload shroud. The cylindrical module at the top is a Nauka module.
Russian earth magnetosphere satellite. The Nauka containers were flown as piggy-back payloads aboard Zenit reconnaissance satellites. They served a dual purpose.

AKA: 31KS. Status: Operational 1968. First Launch: 1968-03-21. Last Launch: 1979-08-17. Number: 45 .

Mounted on the forward end of the re-entry sphere, they provided ballast on the spacecraft during its mission. This was needed to balance service modules on late-model Zenits which were much heavier than the original design. When the Zenit had completed its work, the Nauka could be released for autonomous flight.

Zenit reconnaissance satellites from the beginning carried small supplemental experimental packages, for example meteoroid or cosmic particle detectors. In 1968, aboard Zenit number 80, the Nauka autonomous sub-satellite was first flown. Over 40 Nauka containers were installed on Zenit-2 and Zenit-2M spacecraft, and they achieved noteworthy results in scientific and military space research. Naukas were used to study radiation belts; establish radiation standards; establish the characteristics of the earth-space interface; and develop new instruments. 23 autonomous Nauka sub-satellites undertook methodical research into geophysics, meteorology, and cosmic rays. Others tested new systems for the Yantar reconnaissance satellite.
