List of Kosmos satellites (1251–1500)
Introduction The designation ''Kosmos'' ( meaning ''Cosmos'') is a generic name given to a large number of Soviet, and subsequently Russian, satellites, the first of which was launched in 1962.Satellites given Kosmos designations include military spacecraft, failed probes to the Moon and the planets, prototypes for crewed spacecraft, and scientific spacecraft. This is a list of satellites with Kosmos designations between 1251 and 1500.Designation Type Launch date (GMT) Carrier rocket Function Decay/Destruction* Remarks Kosmos 1251  Strela-1M  6 March 198111:31  Kosmos-3M 11K65M  Communication  ''in orbit''  Launched with Kosmos 1250 Kosmos 1252  Strela-1M  Communication  ''in orbit'' Kosmos 1253  Strela-1M  Communication  ''in orbit'' Kosmos 1254  Strela-1M  Communication  ''in orbit'' Kosmos 1255  Strela-1M  Communication  ''in orbit'' Kosmos 1256  Strela-1M  Communication  ''in orbit'' Kosmos 1257  Strela-1M  Communication  ''in orbit'' Kosmos 1258  IS  14 March 198116:55  Tsyklon-2 11K69  ASAT test  14 March 1981  Failed to intercept Kosmos 1241 Kosmos 1259  Zenit-6  17 March 198108:40  Soyuz-U 11A511U  Reconnaissance  31 March 1981  Kosmos 1260  US-P  20 March 198123:45  Tsyklon-2 11K69  ELINT  22 May 1982  Kosmos 1261  US-K  31 March 198109:40  Molniya-M 8K78M  Missile defense  April 1981  Self-Destructed.

Used for ocean surface observations. In December 1983 data from Kosmos 1500 was used to map escape routes for a lot of Soviet ships trapped in heavy Arctic ice in the De Long Straits near Wrangel Island. Kosmos 1500 provided images of Typhoon Ida near the coast of Japan showing the structure of the waves. Pictures also showed an apparent oil slick greater than 300 km extended from Tokyo Bay. :''* — satellite was destroyed in orbit rather than decaying and burning up in the Earth's atmosphere''
