## Why It Matters
Cosmos 1566 is a documented example of the Strela-1M satellite series and of routine Soviet orbital launches of the early 1980s. Its reliable catalog entries (COSPAR 1984-052H and SCN 15005) and recorded launch details (date, time, launch site, and vehicle) make it a useful reference point for researchers and historians tracking spacecraft deployment, launch vehicle performance, and orbital cataloguing practices. As a vehicle launched from Plesetsk Site 132 by a Kosmos-3M rocket, Cosmos 1566 contributes data to analyses of launch site utilization and the operational tempo of the Kosmos launch program. Its presence in multiple reference systems—including national catalog numbers and the Wolfram Language—facilitates cross-referencing in databases and supports verification, archival work, and comparative studies of satellite classes and launch vehicles from this period.
