1989-011A (#19796) Cosmos 2001 This Oko - Early Warning Satellite was launched on February 14, 1989 (04:21:11 UTC) in Plane 4 of the system. Cosmos 2001 was working until March 15, 1993 - a little bit longer then the 20 months average lifetime for the "Okos" of the eighties. What the different TLEs apparently show is only a mixture of some tracking uncertainties and classical orbit pertubations. Since a decade Cosmmos 2001 is dead. See also the change of the inclination from 62.8° (launch) to 66.8° (today) - a typical indication. No relocation or orbit correction.... It would be interesting to see its optical behaviour.
