Kosmos 1267 (Russian: Космос 1267 meaning Cosmos 1267), also known as TKS-2, was an unmanned TKS spacecraft which docked to the Soviet space station Salyut 6 as part of tests to attach scientific expansion modules to stations in Earth orbit. The module which docked to the station was the FGB component of a TKS vehicle launched on April 25, 1981. The spacecraft's VA return capsule separated and landed in the Soviet Union on May 26, 1982.
