Kosmos (, , Cosmos) is a designation given to a large number of satellites operated by the Soviet Union and subsequently Russia. Kosmos 1, the first spacecraft to be given a Kosmos designation, was launched on 16 March 1962.
, 2,490 Kosmos satellites had been launched. The spacecraft do not form a single programme, but instead consist of almost all Soviet and Russian military satellites, as well as a number of scientific satellites, and spacecraft which failed during or immediately after launch, but still reached orbit. Most Soviet and subsequently Russian military satellites were given Kosmos designations. Spacecraft include optical reconnaissance satellites, communications satellites, early warning missile defence spacecraft, nuclear-powered radar reconnaissance satellites, anti-satellite weapons and their targets, navigation satellites and technology demonstrators. Some scientific spacecraft such as Dnepropetrovsk Sputnik, Bion and Meteor satellites were also given Kosmos designations. The designation is given only to satellites which are in Earth orbit. Typically, Soviet Lunar and planetary missions were initially put into a low Earth parking orbit along with an upper stage, which would later burn for around four minutes to place the spacecraft into a cislunar or a heliocentric orbit. If the engine misfired or the burn was not completed, the probes which would be left in Earth orbit would be given a Kosmos designation. Control systems for 152 spacecraft which were later assigned Kosmos designations were developed and manufactured by NPO Electropribor ( Kharkiv).
Franckh-Kosmos Verlags-GmbH & Co. is a media publishing house based in Stuttgart, Germany, founded in 1822 by Johann Friedrich Franckh. In the nineteenth century the company published the fairy tales of Wilhelm Hauff as well as works by Wilhelm Waiblinger and Eduard Mörike.
The "Friends of Nature Club" (Gesellschaft der Naturfreunde) was set up in 1903 in response to booming public interest in science and technology, and by 1912 100,000 members were receiving its monthly magazine "Cosmos" (Kosmos). The company moved into publishing books on popular science topics under the brands Franckh’sche Verlagshandlung and KOSMOS, including successful non-fiction guidebooks by Hanns Günther and Heinz Richter. Children's fiction and Kosmos-branded science experimentation kits were introduced in the 1920s.
Kosmos's current output includes non-fiction, children's books, science kits and German-style board games. Many of their games are translated into English and published by Thames & Kosmos. Their line of experiment kits and science kits is distributed in North America and the United Kingdom by Thames & Kosmos.
The Kosmos (also spelled Cosmos, Russian: ) 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. The Kosmos family contained a number of rockets, both carrier rockets and sounding rockets, for orbital and sub-orbital spaceflight respectively. The first variant, the Kosmos-2I, first flew on 27 October 1961. Over 700 Kosmos rockets have been launched overall.

A/S Kosmos was a shipping and industrial company from Sandefjord.
It was founded in 1928 by Anders Jahre, Svend Foyn Bruun, Sr. and Anton Barth von der Lippe as Hvalfangstselskapet Kosmos A/S. In 1949 Hvalfangstselskapet Kosmos A/S (A/S Kosmos) and its sister company Hvalfangstselskapet Kosmos II A/S (A/S Kosmos II) were fused to make the company A/S Kosmos.
In 1986, the brothers Arne and Wilhelm Blystad sought to take control of the company, without luck. Two other brothers, Morits and Brynjulf Skaugen, Jr., took control of Kosmos two years later, and split up the company. The shipping arm of the company was taken over by I. M. Skaugen and Color Line.
From 1978 to 1989, Bjørn Bettum was the administrative director of Kosmos.
Kosmos (usually referred to in English as "Cosmos") is an influential treatise on science and nature written by the German scientist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt. Kosmos began as a lecture series delivered by Humboldt at the University of Berlin, and was published in five volumes between 1845 and 1862 (the fifth was posthumous and completed based on Humboldt's notes). In the first volume of Kosmos, Humboldt paints a general “portrait of nature”, describing the physical nature of outer space and the earth. In the second volume he describe the history of science. Widely read by academics and laymen alike, it applied the ancient Greek view of the orderliness of the cosmos (the harmony of the universe) to the Earth, suggesting that universal laws applied as well to the apparent chaos of the terrestrial world. Humboldt goes on to suggest that when one contemplates the beauty of the cosmos, one can obtain personal inspiration and a beneficial, if subjective, awareness about life.
Kosmos was influenced by Humboldt’s various travels and studies, but mainly by his journey throughout the Americas. As he wrote, “it was the discovery of America that planted the seed of the Cosmos.” Due to all of his experience in the field, Humboldt was preeminently qualified for the task to represent the universe in a single work. He had extensive knowledge of many fields of learning, varied experiences as a traveler, and the resources of the scientific and literary world at his disposal.
Kosmos was highly popular when it was released, with the first volume selling out in two months, and the work translated into most European languages. Although the natural sciences have diverged from the romantic perspective Humboldt presented in Kosmos, the work is still considered to be a substantial scientific and literary achievement, having influenced subsequent scientific progress an imparted a unifying perspective to the studies of science, nature, and mankind.
Usage examples of "kosmos".
Who knows, perhaps telos, perhaps Eros, moves the entire Kosmos, and God may indeed be an all-embracing chaotic Attractor, acting, as Whitehead said, throughout the world by gentle persuasion toward love.
As I said, it is always fascinating to see to just what date the Romantics set their Way Back Machine, scraping layers and layers of depth off the Kosmos looking for a Garden of Eden that ever recedes into a shallower darkness.
Interiors deal with degrees of intentions, not extensions, and trying to convert all evolutionary changes into physical size is simply part of the flattening of the Kosmos, part of the brutalization of qualitative distinctions, that has marked the instrumentalism of all flatland ontologies.
That human beings would possess such systems memory seems not even a little surprising (memory stored in brain cells is not the only memory the Kosmos has generated!
But the original meaning of Kosmos was the patterned nature or process of all domains of existence, from matter to math to theos, and not merely the physical universe, which is usually what both "cosmos" and "universe" mean today.
These additions are tenets that seem crucial to an understanding of evolution and the Kosmos, but tenets that, for reasons we will be investigating in detail, simply cannot be established in the it-language of instrumental and objectifying naturalism (i.
There is, relatively speaking, less of the Kosmos that is actually internal to this holon, that is actually embraced within the being of the holon itself.
But in the multidimensional Kosmos, more of one means more of the other.
It has reduced three-dimensional chess to flatland chess, the Kosmos to the cosmos, the interrelated pyramid of life to the interrelated web of life.
Put differently, since every event in the Kosmos does indeed have a Right-Hand component, it can mistakenly appear that the Right-Hand path alone exhausts the Kosmos, whereas it has merely registered and measured the footprints of the giant.
In short, the fundamental Enlightenment paradigm, which was the reduction of the Kosmos to the Right-Hand path, had two poles: the disengaged subject and the flatland network-world.
That is, the story of the fundamental Enlightenment paradigm (the reduction of the Kosmos to the Right-Hand path: the entire Left-Hand dimensions were simply taken for granted, as more or less pregiven, and consciousness was assumed to be a punctual, disengaged subject staring out unproblematically and transparently at a pre-given world, and the job of this disengaged subject was to simply, easily, but carefully reflect, represent, describe, categorize, and analyze the objective, pregiven world)this could occur because the noosphere had finally differentiated from the biosphere, a differentiation that went too far into dissociation (Hegel's "vanity of the understanding," Taylor's "monster of arrested development"), so that the dissociated noosphere was merely the disengaged and self-defining subject staring at, hovering over, divorced from, the holistic flatland of the natural world.
There is no consciousness, awareness, or lived experience anywhere in the Right-Hand, objectivistic dimensionswhich register only the exterior forms of interior consciousnessand thus if you look at the Kosmos only in an objectivating, exterior, monological/computational fashion, you will never find a subjective lived experience anyway.
Further, armed with this finer analysis, it is impossible not to spot developmental factors in the unfolding of these states themselves: like everything else in the Kosmos, they seem to grow and evolve: the acorn does not show up as a fully formed oak on the spot.
On a multidimensional field, in the real Kosmos, the more of both, the better.
