1993-067A (#22875) Cosmos 2265 Thank you very much for all the reports of the visual observation of Cosmos 2265. They confirmed that the object is indeed spherical. A special thank to Vladimir Agapov. He informs me that Cosmos 2265 is an object of the "Taifun 1B" class, a radar calibration sphere, white painted with a diameter of 2.0 m and a mass of 750 kg. A perfect test body for the decay and reentry predictions.
