DS-U2-IR - a satellite platform, a series of spacecraft developed by OKB-586 (now - Yuzhnoye Design Bureau ) for the Soviet program of international scientific cooperation - Intercosmos .
Decoding of the name DS-U2-IK:
- DS - Dnepropetrovsk satellite
- U3 - unified (refers to the modification of DS-U3 )
- IR - Intercosmos
Within the framework of the satellite platform, 7 spacecraft were designed and launched to study the structure of the ionosphere, magnetosphere and radiation belts of the Earth . The experimental designers were various scientific organizations from Czechoslovakia , the German Democratic Republic , the NRB , the Hungarian People ’s Republic , and the USSR [one]

Creation History
In December 1959, an Interdepartmental Scientific and Technical Council for Space Research was created at the USSR Academy of Sciences , headed by Academician M.V. Keldysh , which is charged with developing thematic plans for the creation of spacecraft, issuing key thematic tasks, and coordinating research work and the development of the upper atmosphere and outer space, the preparation of questions of the organization of international cooperation in space research. [2]
The member of the Presidium of the Interdepartmental Scientific and Technical Council for Space Research is approved by MK K. Yangel . In the field of applied tasks of carrying out such work, NII-4 of the USSR Ministry of Defense was entrusted. [2]
In 1962, the spacecraft “ DS-A1 ”, “ DS-P1 ”, “ DS-MT ” and “ DS-MG ” were included in the second-phase launch program of the “ 63C1 ” launch vehicle . [3]
In 1963, it was decided to create three modifications of the unified satellite platform: [4]
- DS-U1 - a spacecraft non-oriented in space with chemical energy sources;
- DS-U2 - a spacecraft not oriented in space with solar batteries, as an energy source;
- DS-U3 is a Sun- oriented spacecraft with solar panels, as an energy source.
Small space satellite platforms have become an instrumental base for organizing international cooperation in the field of space exploration under the Intercosmos program.
