KOSMOS 2126, also known as COSMOS 2126, is a Russian Satellite that launched in 1991 from the PLESETSK space and missile complex.[1] Part of the Strela (Russian: Стрела, for Arrow) 1M satellite network, the satellite was used for communication using relay satellites for military and government purposes.[2] The last mission in this network of satellites was on June 1992. The network has now been superseded by the more modern and capable Strela 3 system, however it is still in orbit with active transmissions on two frequencies,[3] and has not decayed like its sister satellite KOSMOS 2124.[4]
