| Zenit-4MKT Missions
Yet another evolution of the zenit-4, this time equipped with cameras load with mult-spectral film.
All craft in the series had launch announcements linking them to remote sensing of natural resources. It is possible that some parts of their missions involved 'standard' reconnaissance imaging.
