Kosmos 165 (Russian: Космос 165 meaning Cosmos 165), also known as DS-P1-Yu No.11 was a radar calibration target satellite which was used by the Soviet Union for tests of anti-ballistic missiles. It was built by the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau, and launched in 1967 as part of the Dnepropetrovsk Sputnik programme.[1]
Kosmos 165 was launched using a Kosmos-2I 63SM carrier rocket, which flew from Site 133/1 at Plesetsk Cosmodrome.[2] The launch occurred at 18:06 UTC on 12 June 1967.[3]
Kosmos 165 separated from its carrier rocket into a low Earth orbit with a perigee of 198 kilometres (123 mi), an apogee of 1,399 kilometres (869 mi), 81.9 degrees of inclination, and an orbital period of 100.84 minutes.[1][4] It decayed from orbit on 15 January 1968.[4] Kosmos 165 was the eighth of seventy nine DS-P1-Yu satellites to be launched,[1] and the seventh of seventy two to successfully reach orbit.[5]
