The program has included uncrewed tests of crewed spacecraft and satellites for scientific research and military purposes.
[citation needed] Most Soviet and subsequently Russian military satellites were given Kosmos designations.
Some scientific spacecraft such as Dnepropetrovsk Sputnik, Bion and Meteor satellites were also given Kosmos designations.
If the engine misfired or the burn was not completed, the probes which would be left in Earth orbit would be given a Kosmos designation.
[citation needed] Control systems for 152 spacecraft which were later assigned Kosmos designations were developed and manufactured by NPO Electropribor (Kharkiv).
