Zenit (Russian: Зени́т, Zenith) is the name of a series of military spy satellites launched by the Soviet Union between 1961 and 1994.
Most Zenits flew in a slighty elliptical orbit with an apogee of around 200 km and a perigee between 250 km and 350 km; the missions usually lasted between 8 and 15 days.
The first Zenit launch attempt took place on the 11 November 1961, but there was a fault in the rocket’s third stage and the spacecraft was destroyed using its destruct charge.
