Over a three-month period in 1963, from March through May, we conducted four successful launches.29 The 12-day flight of Kosmos-20, launched on 18 October 1963, was the last in the experimental series. The reliability of the reconnaissance spacecraft and all of its systems had been proven.

Thirteen Zenit-2 spacecraft had been launched since December 1961. Of these, 10 had fulfilled their missions and three had been lost through the fault of the launch vehicles. In TASS reports our reconnaissance spacecraft were referred to as Kosmos-4, -7, -9, -10, -12, -13, -15, -16, -18, and -20. The flight development test phase was over. On 10 March 1964, by government decree, the Zenit-2, the launch vehicle, and all the experimental equipment went into service.30
