e/US-KMO (satellite)

Information
has gloss	eng: The US-KMO is a Soviet early-warning satellite tasked with the detection of rocket launches indicating an attack by ICBMs or SLBMs. It was originally intended that the OS-KMO would replace the earlier US-KS, which was useful for ICBM detection only, but it appears that the US-KMO was not successful, and the US-KS remains the primary Russian early-warning system to this day. The satellite is sometimes referred to as the Prognoz in the west, but this is the name of a science satellite program, although it appears the Prognoz spacecraft bus is used to form the US-KMO body.
