Kosmos 93 (Russian: Космос 93 meaning Cosmos 93), also known as DS-U2-V No.1, was a Soviet satellite which was launched in 1965 as part of the Dnepropetrovsk Sputnik programme. It was a 305 kilograms (672 lb) spacecraft, which was built by the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau, and was used to conduct classified technology development experiments for the Soviet armed forces.[3]

AKosmos-2M 63S1M[4] carrier rocket was used to launch Kosmos 93 into low Earth orbit. The launch took place from Site 86/1atKapustin Yar.[5] The launch occurred at 05:45 GMT on 19 October 1965, and resulted in the successful insertion of the satellite into orbit.[6] Upon reaching orbit, the satellite was assigned its Kosmos designation, and received the International Designator 1965-084A.[7] The North American Air Defense Command assigned it the catalogue number 01629.

Kosmos 93 was the first of four DS-U2-V satellites to be launched.[8] It was operated in an orbit with a perigee of 216 kilometres (134 mi), an apogee of 513 kilometres (319 mi), an 48.4° of inclination, and an orbital period of 91.7 minutes. On 3 January 1966, it decayed from orbit and reentered the atmosphere.[9][10]
