Kurs (Ukraina dan Rusia: Курс, Course) adalah sistem telemetriradio yang digunakan oleh program luar angkasa Soviet dan kemudian Rusia.
Kurs dikembangkan oleh Research Institute of Precision Instrumen (NII TP, Rusia: НИИ Точных Приборов) sebelum 1985 [1][2] dan diproduksi oleh Kiev Radio Factory (Ukraina: Київський Радіозавод).[3]

The production association Kiev Radio Factory aimed its further development toward the production of equipment for space exploration. In 1966 it started the production of a unique onboard complex named Igla for search, mutual orientation, approach and docking of space vehicles. [..] In 1985 the Igla was succeeded by the Kurs, a more advanced and reliable system, which is working now on the Mir-Soyuz-Progress complex.
