## Why It Matters
Cosmos 1455 represents a specific unit within the Soviet Tselina-D family of signals intelligence satellites. As a Tselina-D instance, it forms part of a broader program of spaceborne signals intelligence assets, illustrating how the Soviet space infrastructure deployed dedicated satellites for electronic and signals-related reconnaissance tasks. Its launch aboard a Tsyklon-3 from Plesetsk Cosmodrome Site 32 demonstrates operational use of Soviet/Ukrainian expendable launch vehicles and the utilization of Plesetsk as a recurring military launch site. The satellite’s documented catalog identifiers (COSPAR ID 1983-037A and SCN 14032) and presence in multiple-language Wikipedia articles indicate it is a recognized, recorded object in spaceflight archives and public reference sources. For researchers, historians, and analysts, Cosmos 1455 is a verifiable data point in studies of space-based signals intelligence deployments, launch vehicle usage, and Soviet-era space operations.
