Launch

Kosmos 458 was successfully launched into low Earth orbit on 29 November 1971, with the rocket lifting off at 10:09:56 UTC. [2] The launch took place from Site 133/1 at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, [3] and used a Kosmos-2I 63SM carrier rocket.

Orbit

Upon reaching orbit, it was assigned its Kosmos designation, and received the International Designator 1971-101A. [4] The North American Aerospace Defense Command assigned it the catalogue number 05623.

Kosmos 458 was the forty-eighth of seventy nine DS-P1-Yu satellites to be launched, [1] and the forty-third of seventy two to successfully reach orbit. [5] It was operated in an orbit with a perigee of 266 kilometres (165 mi), an apogee of 473 kilometres (294 mi), 70.9 degrees of inclination, and an orbital period of 91.9 minutes. [1] [6] It remained in orbit until it decayed and reentered the atmosphere on 20 April 1972. [6]
