Status of Glonass constellation

Now that NORAD got around to assigning names to the Glonass satellites launched on 26 December 2004, we can combine them with the data published by the Glonass control center to establish link between various designations. Cosmos names assigned by NORAD and Space Forces are identical.

It is interesting to note that NORAD database has December 27, 2004 as the launch date for the satellites that were launched on December 26, 2004.

Russia's plan to make the Glonass navigation system fully operational depends heavily on development of spacecraft with sufficiently long lifetimes - seven years or more. As part of this program, Russia launched two Glonass-M satellites - one on Decemb...

Now that NORAD published orbital elements for all Glonass satellites launched on 25 December 2005, we can try to match NORAD numbers with the internal Glonass designations. As far as I can tell from the orbital data, satellites 28915 and...

On December 25, 2006 Russia successfully launched Proton-K rocket from the Baykonur launch site. The rocket delivered into orbit three Glonass-M navigation satellites, which will join eleven active satellites of the Glonass constellation.
