Anti-ballistic missile

An anti-ballistic missile (ABM) is a surface-to-air missile designed to counter ballistic missiles (missile defense).

See Kosmos 421 and Anti-ballistic missile

Apsis

An apsis is the farthest or nearest point in the orbit of a planetary body about its primary body.

See Kosmos 421 and Apsis

Dnepropetrovsk Sputnik (Днепропетровский Спутник; Дніпропетровський супутник), also known as DS, was a series of satellites launched by the Soviet Union between 1961 and 1982. Kosmos 421 and Dnepropetrovsk Sputnik are Dnepropetrovsk Sputnik program and Soviet Union spacecraft stubs.

DS-P1-Yu

DS-P1-Yu was a series of Soviet satellites developed by the Yuzhnoye Design Office of Ukraine, for use in calibrating the Dnestr space surveillance and early-warning radar system. Kosmos 421 and dS-P1-Yu are Soviet Union spacecraft stubs.

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 421 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 421 and International Designator

KB Pivdenne

Pivdenne Design Office (translit), located in Dnipro, Ukraine, is a designer of satellites and rockets, and formerly of Soviet intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), established by Mikhail Yangel.

Kosmos (rocket family)

The Kosmos (also spelled Cosmos, Russian: Ко́смос) rockets were a series of Soviet and subsequently Russian rockets, derived from the R-12 and R-14 missiles, the best known of which is the Kosmos-3M, which has made over 440 launches.

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 421 and Kosmos (satellite) are Kosmos satellites.

See Kosmos 421 and Kosmos (satellite)

Launch vehicle

A launch vehicle is typically a rocket-powered vehicle designed to carry a payload (a crewed spacecraft or satellites) from Earth's surface or lower atmosphere to outer space.

See Kosmos 421 and Launch vehicle

Low Earth orbit

A low Earth orbit (LEO) is an orbit around Earth with a period of 128 minutes or less (making at least 11.25 orbits per day) and an eccentricity less than 0.25.

See Kosmos 421 and Low Earth orbit

Orbital decay

Orbital decay is a gradual decrease of the distance between two orbiting bodies at their closest approach (the periapsis) over many orbital periods.

See Kosmos 421 and Orbital decay

Orbital inclination

Orbital inclination measures the tilt of an object's orbit around a celestial body.

See Kosmos 421 and Orbital inclination

Orbital period

The orbital period (also revolution period) is the amount of time a given astronomical object takes to complete one orbit around another object.

See Kosmos 421 and Orbital period

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.

See Kosmos 421 and Plesetsk Cosmodrome

Plesetsk Cosmodrome Site 133

Site 133, also known as Raduga (Радуга meaning Rainbow), is a launch complex at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia.

See Kosmos 421 and Plesetsk Cosmodrome Site 133

Satellite

A satellite or artificial satellite is an object, typically a spacecraft, placed into orbit around a celestial body.

See Kosmos 421 and Satellite

Soviet Union

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), commonly known as the Soviet Union, was a transcontinental country that spanned much of Eurasia from 1922 to 1991.

1971 in spaceflight

1971 saw the last three known deaths of cosmonauts of the Soviet space program and the only deaths in space.
