When the spacecraft passes east of Kamchatka over the Pacific Ocean it should enter a near-circular orbit 825 kilometers above the Earth and inclined about 78 degrees. So the inclination is either 78° or 80° derpending on which page of the "Cosmos 1" website you believe. best wishes Russell -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
