Geizer program

Russia



Russian military telecommunication program. The satellites composing this program are part of the Cosmos fleet. Those geostationary satellites are located on the 'Potok' slots. Potok was a telecommunication project designed in the early 80ies; was to operate in C-band. Three slots were registered with the ITU as Potok: 13.5°W, 80°E and 168°E.

Some satellites could have been leased as standard telecommunication satellites to transmit phone traffic.
