| Resurs-F1 Missions
Resurs-F1 was specialised development of the Zenit photo-imaging satellite. General purpose cameras were replaced with cameras loaded with film capable of photographing in specific parts of the visible and near infrared spectrum to detect wavelengths associated with vegetation and specific geoplogical features.
Resurs surveyed large parts of the Soviet Union as well as other countries. While the images allowed assessments of the crop yields in the USSR, they were also a powerful economic tool for use when dealing with countries less aligned with the USSR.
Initially, flights were performed under the 'Cosmos' label but, as the USSR began to disintegrate, the naming convention changed to reveal their true nature.
One mission stands out, that of Resurs-500 (1992-075A/22217) in that it was stripped of its cameras in order to provide room for 19 packages of 'souvenirs' for delivery to the USA on the occasion of the 500th Anniversary of Columbus's voyage. The flight was flagged as the first commercial launch of the Soyus rocket by Russia. Tagging it with the name Resurs when it wasn't an Earth Resources mission probably stems from the name being more 'peace-oriented' than the clandestine 'Zenit' or one of its associated code names.

Imaging satellite that would normally be equipped with multispectral and spectrozonal film cameras for studying the Earth in visible light and near-infrared although it is unclear whether cameras were fitted for this flight. Based on the Zenit-4MKT. Descent module landed in the Pacific Ocean off Washington State, USA. It was carrying greetings to the American people, and promotional items from companies sponsoring the mission. It was dedicated to the 500th anniversary of the discovery of America by Columbus. The recoverable cabin was taken ashore for display at the Seattle World Fair and can now be seen in the Seattle Museum of Flight (minus the cameras that would have been removed while aboard the recovery ship). |
