## Why It Matters  
Cosmos 2193 represents a component of the Strela‑1M series, a family of low‑Earth‑orbit communication satellites that supported the Soviet (and later Russian) military and governmental communications infrastructure. Its launch in 1992 illustrates the continued use of proven launch systems—specifically the Kosmos‑3M—from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, a key northern launch site that enabled rapid deployment of satellites into polar and high‑inclination orbits. By contributing to the broader Strela network, Cosmos 2193 helped maintain secure, real‑time data links across the vast territories of the former Soviet Union, underscoring the strategic importance of space‑based communications for national security and coordination. The satellite’s documented identifiers (SCN 21982, COSPAR 1992‑030G) also provide a reliable reference point for tracking orbital debris and ensuring long‑term space situational awareness.  

## Notable For  
- **Strela‑1M classification:** Part of a dedicated military communications satellite series.  
- **Launch vehicle:** Utilized the reliable Kosmos‑3M rocket, highlighting the vehicle’s longevity.  
- **Launch site:** Departed from Plesetsk Cosmodrome Site 133, a primary northern launch complex.  
- **International identifiers:** Assigned both SCN 21982 and COSPAR 1992‑030G, facilitating global tracking.  
- **Multilingual documentation:** Listed in Macedonian, Serbo‑Croatian, and Serbian Wikipedia editions.
