Kosmos 117 (Russian: ะะพัะผะพั 117 meaning Cosmos 117) or Zenit-2 No.39 was a Soviet optical film-return reconnaissance satellite launched in 1966. A Zenit-2 spacecraft, Kosmos 117 was the thirty-eighth of eighty-one such satellites to be launched[5][6] and had a mass of 4,730.0 kilograms (10,427.9 lb).[1]
Kosmos 117 was launched by a Vostok-2 rocket, serial number N15001-01,[7] flying from Site 31/6 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. The launch took place at 11:02 UTC on 6 May 1966,[2] and following its successful arrival in orbit the spacecraft received its Kosmos designation; along with the International Designator 1966-037A and the Satellite Catalog Number 2163.[1]
Kosmos 117 was operated in a low Earth orbit; at an epoch of 8 May 1966 it had a perigee of 204 kilometres (127 mi), an apogee of 296 kilometres (184 mi) inclination of 64.9 degrees and an orbital period of 89.5 minutes.[4] After eight days in orbit, Kosmos 117 was deorbited, with its return capsule descending under parachute and landing at 08:24 UTC on 14 May 1966.[3]
