Kosmos 107 (Russian : Космос 107 meaning Cosmos 107) or Zenit-2 No.35 was a Soviet, first generation, low resolution, optical film-return reconnaissance satellite launched in 1966. A Zenit-2 spacecraft, Kosmos 107 was the thirty-fifth of eighty-one such satellites to be launched [3] [4] and had a mass of 4,730 kilograms (10,430 lb).

Kosmos 107 was launched by a Vostok-2 rocket [5] flying from Site 31/6 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. The launch took place at 08:52 GMT on 10 February 1966, [6] and following its successful arrival in orbit the spacecraft received its Kosmos designation; along with the International Designator 1966-010A and the Satellite Catalog Number 01998. [7]

Kosmos 107 was operated in a low Earth orbit, at an epoch of 10 February 1966, it had a perigee of 204 kilometres (127 mi), an apogee of 310 kilometres (190 mi), an inclination of 65.0° and an orbital period of 89.7 minutes. [8] After eight days in orbit, Kosmos 107 was deorbited, with its return capsule descending under parachute, landing at 06:29 GMT on 18 February 1966, and recovered by Soviet force. [9]
