Kosmos 213

Kosmos 213 is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Kosmos 213 rather than just read about it. In short: Kosmos 213 (Russian: Космос 213 meaning Cosmos 213) was one of a series of Soviet Soyuz programme test spacecraft whose purpose was to further test and develop the passenger version. Scientific data and measurements were relayed to earth by multichannel telemetry systems equipped with space-borne memory units.

Key takeaways

Kosmos 213 belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Kosmos 213 to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Kosmos 213 from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Kosmos 213 (Russian: Космос 213 meaning Cosmos 213) was one of a series of Soviet Soyuz programme test spacecraft whose purpose was to further test and develop the passenger version. Scientific data and measurements were relayed to earth by multichannel telemetry systems equipped with space-borne memory units. Kosmos 212 and Kosmos 213 automatically docked in orbit on April 15, 1968. Both spacecraft landed on Soviet territory.

Mission On 15 April 1968 at 09:34:18 GMT, the Soyuz 11A511 s/n U15000-06 booster and Kosmos 213 were set up at Site 1/5 of Baikonur Cosmodrome and the planned mission could be carried out. Kosmos 213 was operated in a low Earth orbit, it had a perigee of 193 kilometres (120 mi), an apogee of 245 kilometres (152 mi), an inclination of 51.4°, and an orbital period of 89.16 minutes, and had a mass of 6,000 kilograms (13,000 lb).

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Kosmos 213

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Kosmos 213 claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Kosmos 213 before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Kosmos 213 ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Kosmos 213

In research: Kosmos 213 appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Kosmos 213 in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Kosmos 213 is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1968 in the Soviet Union, Kosmos satellites, Soviet spacecraft stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Kosmos 213 outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is Kosmos 213 in simple terms?

Why does Kosmos 213 matter?

Because it connects several science ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.

How should I study Kosmos 213?

Read the excerpt, restate it from memory, then work through the examples and applications listed on this page. The five-step study plan above takes about twenty minutes.
