## Why It Matters
Cosmos 1165 is a documented component of the Soviet-era spaceflight record and the technical lineage of Zenit-class spacecraft and Soyuz launch vehicles. As an instance of the Zenit-4МКМ class, its launch contributes to understanding that spacecraft family’s operational history and deployment cadence. The precise launch data — date, time, site (Plesetsk Site 43/4), vehicle (Soyuz-U), and catalog identifiers (COSPAR 1980-017A, SCN 11713) — make Cosmos 1165 a verifiable point in orbital catalogs and launch logs used by researchers, historians, and cataloguing services. Its presence in multiple language Wikipedias and in commercial datasets such as Wolfram underscores its traceability in public and technical records. For anyone studying Soviet launch infrastructure, Soyuz-U variants, or Zenit spacecraft variants, Cosmos 1165 serves as a specific, well-documented example from early 1980.
