Gonets- satellite were the civilian derivate of the military Strela-3 satellite system. The Gonets system was offered to support international health organizations to meet their global communications needs for the transfer of medical data and records to remote sites. Strela-3 was second generation of strategic store-dump military communications satellite. Development of this generation to replace the first generation Strela-1M and Strela-2M satellites began in 1973.
GONETS D1 6 was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Tsiklon-3 | Strela-3 116 to 118 & Gonets 4 to 6’, on board a Tsiklon-3 space rocket.
The launch took place on Feb. 14, 1997, 3:47 a.m. from 32/1.
