The Kosmos-1 (GRAU Index: 65S3 also known as Cosmos-1) was a Soviet carrier rocket derived from the R-14 missile which was used to orbit satellites in 1964 and 1965. It served as an interim and was quickly replaced by the Kosmos-3. Eight were flown and all launches occurred from Site 41/15 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome.Initial development was authorised in October 1961 leading to a maiden flight on 18 August 1964 carrying three Strela satellites.
