## Why It Matters
Cosmos 1115 serves as a specific data point within the extensive Soviet "Cosmos" program, which encompassed thousands of satellites over several decades. Its designation as a "Fram" class satellite places it within a specific lineage of Soviet aerospace technology, though details of the class's specific function are often sparse in public records. The launch highlights the heavy utilization of the Plesetsk Cosmodrome and the Soyuz-U rocket during the Cold War era; the Soyuz-U was a workhorse "Universal" variant capable of carrying various payloads. By logging this entity with precise coordinates (Site 43/4), time (08:25:00), and international identifiers (1979-066A), space historians and trackers can maintain an accurate catalog of objects in Earth orbit. The existence of entries for this satellite in multiple languages (Macedonian, Serbian, Serbo-Croatian) indicates its recognition in global space monitoring databases.

## Notable For
- Being a member of the **Fram** class of satellites.
- Launching aboard the **Soyuz-U**, one of the most frequently used launch vehicles in history.
- Being launched from **Plesetsk Cosmodrome Site 43/4**, a high-activity launch complex.
- Having a unique **Wolfram Language Entity Code** (`Entity["Satellite", "11451"]`), making it computable in symbolic programming.
- Receiving a **COSPAR ID** (1979-066A), placing it firmly in the international registry of space objects for the year 1979.

## Body

### Mission Identity and Classification
Cosmos 1115 is formally classified as an instance of the **Fram** class of satellites. In Soviet nomenclature, "Cosmos" (or Kosmos) was a generic designation used for a wide variety of scientific and military satellites. This particular entity is distinguished by its Satellite Catalog Number (SCN) **11451** and its international designator **1979-066A**, indicating it was the primary object (or "A" component) of the 66th launch of 1979.

### Launch Logistics
The satellite was successfully delivered to orbit on **July 13, 1979**. The mission utilized the **Soyuz-U** launch vehicle, a variant described as "Universal," which was a standard carrier rocket for Soviet payloads of this era. The launch originated from the **Plesetsk Cosmodrome Site 43/4**, a primary launch facility located in northwestern Russia (then the Soviet Union).

### Significant Event Data
The defining event for this entity was the **rocket launch** that occurred on July 13, 1979. Specific telemetry data records the precise moment of the launch event at **08:25:00**. The start point for this trajectory was fixed at Plesetsk Cosmodrome Site 43/4.

### Data and References
The entity is referenced across several databases:
*   **Wikipedia:** Available in Macedonian (mk), Serbo-Croatian (sh), and Serbian (sr).
*   **Wolfram Alpha:** Indexed as `Entity["Satellite", "11451"]`.
*   **Wikidata:** Structured data is backed by references to source `Q6272367` (likely a catalog or database ID) and `Q200386` (related to the COSPAR ID source).
