Blok 2BL

The Blok 2BL was a rocket stage, a member of Blok L family, used as an upper stage on some versions of the Molniya-M carrier rocket.

See Kosmos 1188 and Blok 2BL

Early warning satellite

An early warning satellite is a satellite designed to rapidly identify ballistic missile launches and thus enable defensive military action.

See Kosmos 1188 and Early warning satellite

An early warning system is a warning system that can be implemented as a chain of information communication systems and comprises sensors, event detection and decision subsystems for early identification of hazards.

See Kosmos 1188 and Early warning system

Geocentric orbit

A geocentric orbit, Earth-centered orbit, or Earth orbit involves any object orbiting Earth, such as the Moon or artificial satellites.

See Kosmos 1188 and Geocentric orbit

International Designator

The International Designator, also known as COSPAR ID, is an international identifier assigned to artificial objects in space.

See Kosmos 1188 and International Designator

Kosmos (satellite)

Kosmos (Ко́смос,, meaning "(outer) space" or "Kosmos") is a designation given to many satellites operated by the Soviet Union and subsequently Russia. Kosmos 1188 and Kosmos (satellite) are Kosmos satellites.

List of Kosmos satellites (1001–1250)

The designation Kosmos (Космос meaning Cosmos) is a generic name given to a large number of Soviet, and subsequently Russian, satellites, the first of which was launched in 1962. Kosmos 1188 and List of Kosmos satellites (1001–1250) are Kosmos satellites.

Molniya-M

The Molniya-M (Молния, meaning "lightning"), GRAU designation 8K78M, was a Soviet Union (later Russian) launch vehicle derived from the R-7 Semyorka Intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).

Oko

Oko (Old lit) is a Russian (previously Soviet) missile defence early warning programme consisting of satellites in Molniya and geosynchronous orbits.

Optical telescope

An optical telescope is a telescope that gathers and focuses light mainly from the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, to create a magnified image for direct visual inspection, to make a photograph, or to collect data through electronic image sensors.

See Kosmos 1188 and Optical telescope

Plesetsk Cosmodrome

Plesetsk Cosmodrome (p) is a Russian spaceport located in Mirny, Arkhangelsk Oblast, about 800 km north of Moscow and approximately 200 km south of Arkhangelsk.

Plesetsk Cosmodrome Site 43

Site 43, also known as SK-3 and SK-4, is a launch complex at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia.

Satellite Catalog Number

The Satellite Catalog Number (SATCAT, also known as NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense) Catalog Number, NORAD ID, USSPACECOM object number or simply catalog number, among similar variants) is a sequential nine-digit number assigned by the United States Space Command (USSPACECOM) in the order of launch or discovery to all artificial objects in the orbits of Earth and those that left Earth's orbit.

See Kosmos 1188 and Satellite Catalog Number

Thermography

Infrared thermography (IRT), thermal video and/or thermal imaging, is a process where a thermal camera captures and creates an image of an object by using infrared radiation emitted from the object in a process, which are examples of infrared imaging science.

See Kosmos 1188 and Thermography

United States Space Command

United States Space Command (USSPACECOM or SPACECOM) is a unified combatant command of the United States Department of Defense, responsible for military operations in outer space, specifically all operations 100 kilometers (62 miles) and greater above mean sea level.

US-K

Upravlyaemy Sputnik Kontinentalny (Управляемый Спутник Континентальный meaning Continental Controllable Satellite) or US-K (УС-К) is a series of Russian, previously Soviet, satellites used to detect missile launches as part of the Oko system. Kosmos 1188 and uS-K are Oko.
