Kosmos 633 was the sixty-eighth of seventy nine DS-P1-Yu satellites to be launched, and the sixty-second of seventy two to successfully reach orbit. It was operated in an orbit with a perigee of, an apogee of, 70.9 degrees of inclination, and an orbital period of 91.9 minutes. It remained in orbit until it decayed and reentered the atmosphere on 4 October 1974.
