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.
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 706 and Early warning satellite
Early warning system
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 706 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 706 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 706 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 706 and Kosmos (satellite) are Kosmos satellites.
See Kosmos 706 and Kosmos (satellite)
List of Kosmos satellites (501–750)
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 706 and List of Kosmos satellites (501–750) are Kosmos satellites.
See Kosmos 706 and List of Kosmos satellites (501–750)
List of Oko satellites
Oko is a Russian satellite-based missile detection and early warning system. Kosmos 706 and List of Oko satellites are Oko.
See Kosmos 706 and List of Oko satellites
List of R-7 launches (1975–1979)
This is a list of launches made by the R-7 Semyorka ICBM, and its derivatives between 1975 and 1979.
See Kosmos 706 and List of R-7 launches (1975–1979)
Molniya orbit
A Molniya orbit (a, "Lightning") is a type of satellite orbit designed to provide communications and remote sensing coverage over high latitudes.
See Kosmos 706 and Molniya orbit
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 706 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.
See Kosmos 706 and Plesetsk Cosmodrome
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 706 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 706 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.
See Kosmos 706 and United States Space Command
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 706 and uS-K are Oko.
1975 in spaceflight
In 1975 several notable events happened in spaceflight such as the launch and arrival at Venus of Venera 9 and 10, the launch to Mars of the Viking orbiter/landers missions, the joint Apollo–Soyuz Test Project, and the launch of satellite Aryabhatta.
