[FPSPACE] Cosmos 382 mystery update

[Phillip Clark]

Two problems with the idea that Cosmos 382 was intended to fly around the Moon.   (1) The lunar GHA at launch was wrong and (2) the objects left in orbit are nothing like an intended deep space launch.

  Greetings everyone.

   

  I just got a book yesterday authored by V V Poroshkov entitled (my English translation of the Russian title) "Rocket-Cosmic Feats of Baikonur."  It was published in 2007.

   

  In the back of the book there are several appendices/tables.  Cosmos 382 is identified as the last launching attempt to send a 7K-L1 around the Moon.  But it is labeled a 7K-L1 "yeh", and I don't know why it has the "yeh" Russian letter after it.  (Third letter from the back of the Russian alphabet.)

   

  Anyone know of a version of the 7K-L1 that was the "yeh" version?

   

  If you know, enlighten me.

   

  Thanks in advance.
