Kosmos 2241

Kosmos 2241 was a Russian US-K missile early warning satellite launched in 1993 as part of the Russian Space Forces' Oko programme. The satellite was designed to detect missile launches using optical telescopes and infrared sensors.
Kosmos 2241 was launched from Site 43/4 at Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia. A Molniya-M carrier rocket with a 2BL upper stage was used for the launch, which took place at 19:07 UTC on 6 April 1993. The launch successfully placed the satellite into a molniya orbit. It subsequently received its Kosmos designation, and the international designator 1993-051A. The United States Space Command assigned it the Satellite Catalog Number 22594.
On 8 March 2022, Kosmos 2241 decayed from orbit and reentered the atmosphere.
