  GLONASS vs. GPS: RT reports from launch pad as satellites blast off

  Russia's global navigation system - GLONASS - has moved a step closer to reality. A rocket carrying three satellites has been successfully launched into orbit. The plan is for the rival to America's GPS to start operating by the end of the year. RT's Egor Piskunov reports from Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

  Russian Glonass satellite system 2010 - Russian GPS

  Russia's Glonass satellite system will become fully operational in 2010 if it receives sufficient financing, says Anatoly Perminov, the head of the Russian space agency, Roscosmos. Glonass (Global Navigation Satellite System) is the Russian equivalent of the US GPS Russia's Glonass satellite system to be fully operational in 2010 Sistema Global de Navegación por Satélite (GNSS) desarrollado por Rusia y que representa la contrapartida al GPS estadounidense y al futuro Galileo europeo ГЛОНАСС ГЛОбальная НАвигационная Спутниковая Система

  GLONASS satellites Launched atop Proton-M / DM-2 rocket

  March 1, 2010 - Baikonur Cosmodrome. Three more Glonass navigation satellites (Kosmos 2459, 2460 y 2461 - Uragan-M #24,25 y 26) were dispatched to space Monday, ensuring the network continues providing positioning services to Russian territory as officials seek to expand it to global coverage. The Glonass constellation is Russia's counterpart to the US Global Positioning System. Glonass satellites provide users with navigation coordinates, velocity and precise timing information. The replenishment satellites blasted off aboard a Proton rocket at 2119 GMT (4:19 pm EST) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The Proton blazed a dazzling trail into the sky above Baikonur, where it was just after midnight local time. The first stage's six main engines gave way to the Proton's second stage about two minutes after liftoff. The Proton flew out of sight of ground tracking cameras about six minutes into the mission. Within the first 10 minutes of the flight, the rocket deployed the Glonass payloads and the Block DM upper stage in space. The Block DM fired its main engine twice to push the Glonass satellites into a circular orbit 12000 miles high with an inclination of about 64.8 degrees. The upper stage released its grasp on the Glonass spacecraft around 0052 GMT Tuesday (7:52 pm EST Monday), according to the Russian Space Agency. Each satellite weighs about 3000 pounds at launch, including maneuvering fuel to maintan the craft's orientation in space. The modernized Glonass M ...
