Summary
COSMOS 2130 (also known as Kosmos-2130) is a military communication satellite launched by the Soviet Union on February 12, 1991, from Plesetsk Cosmodrome using a Kosmos 11K65M launch vehicle. The spacecraft has dimensions of 0.8 meters in length and diameter with a dry mass of 60 kilograms, identical to its launch mass. It was equipped with solar cells and batteries for power supply. Manufactured by NPOPM, COSMOS 2130 carried the Strela-1M Blok 45 No. 6 payload and had a mission lifetime of six months. The satellite's shape is polyhedral, and its radar cross-section (RCS) is measured at 0.6565 square meters. It was owned by an unidentified entity in the former Soviet Union and operated for military communication purposes.
