Details:
I'm processing some so far untouched material captured in the last 2 years for a new website about my best projects.
This set of images shows an old upper stage launched in 1964, which orbited the first legendary Meteor weather satellite, cosmos 44, although this was an experimental version. The other interesting thing is that this was the first launch of the Vostok 8A92M rocket. The upper stage is only 2,56 x 2,84 meters small, and the distance was 760 kilometers. Considering the size and the distance, this object is transformed into an unresolved small speck of light, even in a high resolution image. Further data on the image. At the time of capture, the object was almost exactly 50 years in space!
