Type: Ocean surveillance ("RORSAT") Sponsor: Soviet Union's Defense ministry Launch: 4 November 1980 at 15h07 UTC, from Baykonur Cosmodrome's LC-90, by a  F-1/Tsyklon 2. Orbit: Decayed: 16 February 2014 Mission: Kosmos 1220 was a vehicle in the US-P (Controlled Satellite - Passive) series, which featured radio antennae to monitor radio emissions from U.S Navy ships.  It was powered by large solar panels. The US-P .satellites operated in 400 km orbits.  Kosmos-1220 ended its main mission on 27 March 1981 when it raised its orbit to 406 x 465 km. A year later, on 20 June 1982, it exploded generating 81 pieces of debris, all but five of which reentered during the 1980s. It burned up over northwestern Arabia on 16 February 2014 at 1h40 UT. Notesw: In many cases, American radars detected evidence of explosions at the end of the US-P missions, with dozens of pieces of debris appearing in nearby orbits. Strangely, for some vehicles, there were multiple debris events over a period of months, long after the apparent end of mission; the explosions do not seem to have completed disrupted the spacecraft - their purpose and nature remain mysterious. Were the explosions deliberate or, perhaps, a consequence of a design flaw in the propulsion system?
