| Resurs-F2 Missions
Resurs-F2 carried a more wide ranging set of cameras than the F1 version and was fitted with solar panels attached to its orbit adjustment engine module. They allowed a 30-day orbital lifetime compared with Resurs-F1's fourteen days.
Like Resurs-F1, it started life covered by the 'Cosmos' designation but with Glasnost, the more descriptive name emerged.

1987 Dec 26, 11:30 UTC Plesetsk Cosmodrome Soyuz-U |
|
Imaging satellite equipped with multispectral and spectrozonal film cameras for studying the Earth in visible light and near-infrared and solar panels to allow an operational life of 30 days. The launch announcement mentioned "...continuing research into the Earth's natural resources..." and that incoming information was being passed to the 'Priroda' state scientific research centre. Disintegrated 1988 Jan 31 at approx 11:00 UTC, possibly following failed recovery attempt(s) and triggering of the self-destruct system. Recovery was expected 1988 Jan 25 after 30 days in orbit.
