List of Kosmos satellites (2251–2500)
The designation Kosmos (Russian: Космос meaning Cosmos) is a generic name given to a large number of Soviet, and subsequently Russian, satellites, the first of which was launched in 1962. Satellites given Kosmos designations include military spacecraft, failed probes to the Moon and the planets, prototypes for crewed spacecraft, and scientific spacecraft. This is a list of satellites with Kosmos designations between 2251 and 2500.

| Kosmos 2491 | Unknown | ? | 23 December 2019* | Unconfirmed identity. Secret Russian satellite that NASA thinks was used orbital rendezvous and inspection maneuvers. It also had the Amateur radio satellite RS-46 attached, which operated for a while. K2491 was observed to change its orbital parameters by about 1.5 m/s at 1321UTC on 23 December 2019. It is believed that an explosion occurred from stored and undepleted propellant, although collision with a piece of space debris may have initiated the explosion.[19] | ||
