## Why It Matters
Cosmos 2189 is a documented member of the Strela-1M class and is part of the recorded launch activity from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in 1992. Its registration with a COSPAR ID and a spacecraft number makes it part of the international space object cataloging system, which is important for tracking orbital objects and preserving launch records. The satellite’s launch on a Kosmos-3M vehicle contributes to the operational history of that launcher and of Plesetsk Site 133 as an active launch complex. The presence of Wikipedia entries in multiple languages and a Wolfram catalog entry indicates that Cosmos 2189 is recognized in public and technical reference sources, supporting research, historical accounting, and cross-referencing across datasets that document spaceflight activity during the early 1990s.
