Význam parametrů: Epocha - Datum (rok, měsíc, den a zlomek dne), pro něž platí uvedené parametry. Typ - Kód typu oběžné dráhy : G - geocentrická (Země), i - Sklon dráhy (úhel mezi rovinou dráhy a referenční rovinou, tj. rovníkem nebo ekliptikou). P - Perioda (doba oběhu). h_P- Výška dráhy v pericentru. h_A- Výška dráhy v apocentru.

Popis objektu

Telekomunikační družice. Vyvinulo ji NPO "Južnoje" (nyní DP VO Pivdennyj mašynobudivnyj zavod), Dnepropetrovsk, Dnepropetrovskaja obl., UkrSSR (SSSR, nyní Ukrajina) a vyrobilo ji NPO prikladnoj mechaniki im. akad. M. F. Rešetnjova <=НПО прикладной механики им. акад. М. Ф. Решетнёва> (nyní OAO "Informacionnyje sputnikovyje sistemy"), Krasnojarsk-26 (nyní Železnogorsk), Krasnojarskij kraj, RSFSR (SSSR). Provozovatelem je Ministerstvo svjazi (MS) SSSR <=Министерство связи>, Moskva (SSSR).

Družice typu Molnija-3 má tvar válce o průměru 1.6 m a délce 4.2 m se šesti panely slunečních baterií o rozpětí 8.6 m, poskytujících maximálně 700 W. Přístrojový úsek je hermetizovaný a ochlazovaný cirkulující kapalinou. Tříose stabilizovaná družice je vybavena korekčním motorem typu KDU-414 [=korektirujuščaja dvigatel'naja ustanovka] o tahu 1.96 kN, systémem plynových trysek pro doladění dráhy a silovými setrvačníky stabilizačního systému. Pracuje v pásmu C (4/6 GHz, šířka pásma 50 MHz, EIRP 35 dBW) se třemi permaktronovými zesilovači o výkonu po 30 W. Pro spojení slouží jedna ze dvou redundantních otočných parabolických antén. Je součástí systému ORBITA a slouží především pro vnitrostátní distribuci televizního signálu i pro potřeby mezinárodní organizace Intersputnik. Je využívána též jako technický prostředek horké linky mezi Kremlem a Bílým domem. Částečně je využívána i pro vojenské spoje.

Pohybuje se po protáhlé eliptické synchronní 12tihodinové dráze s apogeem nad severní polokoulí.

Předchozí družicí této řady je Molnija-3 39 (1990-084A), další je Molnija-3 41 (1991-065A).
