## Why It Matters
Cosmos 928 is a documented example of the Parus-class satellites launched during the Soviet-era space program. As a discrete, cataloged object (COSPAR ID 1977-064A; SCN 10141), it contributes to the historical record of satellite launches and orbital assets from 1977. The satellite's launch from Plesetsk Cosmodrome Site 132 using a Kosmos-3M vehicle reflects operational practices and launch infrastructure of that period. Having entries in multiple language Wikipedias and a Wolfram Language identifier demonstrates that Cosmos 928 is part of the international data trail maintained for spacecraft: identifiers like COSPAR and SCN enable tracking, cross-referencing, and archival consistency across databases. For researchers, historians, and catalog managers, these precise launch details and identifiers are essential for reconstructing launch manifest histories, associating payloads with launch vehicles and sites, and maintaining robust satellite catalogs.

## Notable For
