Observations of Cosmos 1335 have been analyzed for the September 1885 to May 1986 period during which the orbit was experiencing the effects of 31:2 resonance with the earth's gravitational field. The average orbital accuracy achieved was found to be about 70 m radial and 129 m cross-track. Changes in inclination and eccentricity at resonance have been analyzed, providing values for six lumped harmonics in the geopotential of order 31 (two lumped harmonics of even degree with an average accuracy equivalent to 1.5 cm in geoid height and four odd degree harmonics with accuracies of between 2 and 7 cm).
