## Why It Matters
Cosmos 332 is a documented example of a Zaliv-class satellite launched during the early 1970s. Its recorded identifiers (COSPAR 1970-028A and SCN 04369) and clear launch data (Kosmos-3M from Plesetsk Site 132 on 11 April 1970 at 17:00:00) make it part of the historical catalogue of space missions and contribute to the continuity of orbital records. As an instance of the Zaliv bus and associated with the Tsiklon family context, Cosmos 332 sits at the intersection of satellite-bus design and Soviet-era launch logistics. The presence of multiple external identifiers (Google Knowledge Graph and Wolfram Language) and multilingual Wikipedia coverage indicates that Cosmos 332 is tracked across modern data systems and referenced in several language communities. For researchers, historians, and cataloguers, such precise metadata supports cross-referencing between launch manifests, vehicle classes, and satellite inventories, helping maintain an accurate account of spaceflight activity from that period.

## Notable For
- Being an instance of the Zaliv satellite bus (classification: Zaliv).  
- Having COSPAR ID 1970-028A and SCN 04369 for unambiguous cataloguing.  
- Launch on 11 April 1970 at 17:00:00 from Plesetsk Cosmodrome Site 132.  
- Deployment by a Kosmos-3M launch vehicle.  
- Association with the Tsiklon (Tsyklon) class context as part of its parent launch vehicle family.
