## Why It Matters
Cosmos 1035 serves as a specific historical data point within the extensive Soviet Kosmos program, which encompassed over 2,000 satellites. Its primary significance lies in its role as a functional unit of the **Strela-1M** class, a series of satellites typically utilized for military communications and government purposes during the Cold War era.

The entry illustrates the operational tempo of the late 1970s Soviet space program, specifically demonstrating the utilization of the **Kosmos-3M** launch vehicle—a workhorse rocket developed in the 1960s that remained in service for decades. By documenting precise parameters such as the launch complex (Site 132) and exact UTC time, this entity contributes to the broader historical record of spaceflight logistics and orbital tracking. The allocation of a distinct COSPAR ID (1978-091B) and Satellite Catalog Number (11044) ensures the object's distinct identity is preserved in international space catalogs.

## Notable For

*   **Precise Tracking:** Uniquely identified by COSPAR ID 1978-091B and SCN 11044.
*   **Launch Vehicle:** Utilized the Kosmos-3M, a prominent Russian/Soviet two-stage launch vehicle.
*   **Specific Origin:** Launched from Plesetsk Cosmodrome Site 132, a key Soviet spaceport.

## Body

### Mission Identity and Classification
Cosmos 1035 is designated as an **instance of the Strela-1M** class. In the context of space exploration, "Cosmos" is a generic name given to a wide array of Soviet and later Russian satellites, often used to mask the true military or classified nature of the mission. The specific classification of this entity is verified by academic sources and structured property data. It is also aliased as **Kosmos 1035**.

### Launch Specifications
The deployment of Cosmos 1035 is characterized by precise logistical details:
*   **Point in Time:** The launch occurred on **October 4, 1978**. The exact time of the significant event (rocket launch) was **03:49:00**.
*   **Location:** The **start point** for the mission was **Plesetsk Cosmodrome Site 132**. This site is located in northwestern Russia and was a primary launch pad for the Kosmos-3M rocket.
*   **Vehicle:** The **launch vehicle** employed was the **Kosmos-3M**. This rocket is recognized as a distinct class of Russian launch vehicle that served the Soviet Union.

### Identification Codes
To differentiate this object from the thousands of others in orbit, specific identifiers were assigned:
*   **COSPAR ID:** **1978-091B**. This international designation indicates it was the second object (typically the payload) associated with the 91st launch of the year 1978.
*   **Satellite Number:** **11044**. This is the sequential catalog number assigned to the object for tracking purposes.
*   **Wolfram Language Entity:** It is represented in computational databases as `Entity["Satellite", "11044"]`.
