## Why It Matters  
Cosmos 1110 represents a component of the Soviet Union’s Strela‑2M satellite constellation, a series designed to provide secure, store‑and‑forward communications for military and governmental users. By operating in low Earth orbit, these satellites enabled rapid transmission of messages across the vast Soviet territory, supporting command‑and‑control networks during the Cold War era. The launch of Cosmos 1110 on a reliable Kosmos‑3M vehicle from the strategic Plesetsk site underscores the Soviet emphasis on maintaining a robust, redundant communications infrastructure. Understanding Cosmos 1110 helps illustrate the evolution of space‑based communication systems and the geopolitical context that drove their development.

## Notable For  
- Being a member of the Strela‑2M communications satellite family.  
- Launch from the high‑latitude Plesetsk Cosmodrome, highlighting Soviet launch site diversity.  
- Utilisation of the Kosmos‑3M launch vehicle, a workhorse of Soviet orbital insertions.  
- Assignment of the COSPAR ID 1979‑060A, linking it to the global satellite tracking database.  
- Catalogued internationally as satellite 11425, enabling cross‑agency identification.
