Kosmos 1484

Kosmos 1484 (Russian: Космос 1484 meaning Cosmos 1484), also known as Resurs-OE No.3-2 was a Soviet prototype Earth imaging satellite, launched in 1983 as part of the Resurs programme.

A Vostok-2M carrier rocket was used to place the satellite into low Earth orbit.

Following the completion of its mission, Kosmos 1484 remained in orbit for several years as [[space debris]|a derelict satellite]].

It suffered a fragmentation event - possibly due to a battery explosion - on October 18, 1993; however, the spacecraft remained relatively intact.

Its orbit decayed and the main component of it reentered Earth's atmosphere on January 28, 2013.
