GLONASS system "interference in the possession of the Russian army

It ended with the formation of satellites collection system "GLONASS" Russian space navigation. And it can be received by the Russian army as a series in its space.

This was announced by the President of the company, "Rchettnov" Satellite systems and industrial informatics "Nikolai Tostoyedov in an interview with Interfax news agency," where he said that Russian military system consists of three sections, a unity of command and unity of the accelerator and the rocket. And it is supposed to be all three sections ready in the fourth quarter for the current year to be delivered to the Russian armed forces.

According Tostoyedov the satellite orbital group of the Russian satellite navigation system "Glons" is currently working and implement the tasks entrusted to it. However, the unit accelerator "Frigat" and a rocket "Soyuz" in their capacity as two episodes of the system has not been delivered yet.

GLONASS system "interference in the possession of the Russian army

The system "GLONASS" Civil Russian designed to ensure a quick navigation, honest and provide 

unlimited support to users in the air, land, sea and space. And the right of all Russians and foreigners to use system "GLONASS" civil charge.

Work officially began the establishment of the system in December / December 1976 decision of the Soviet leadership, which is practically an extension of satellite own local "Tsyklon" satellite navigation system.

And it launched the first satellite of the system in the month of October / October 1982, and continued to satellites and space instrumentation launch until 1995, amounting to 24 satellites.

Then due to stop funding for the project because of the difficult economic conditions experienced by Russia at the time, but the short duration of the satellite service, the number of satellites operating in 2001 fell to 6 satellites only. But in August / August of the same year, the Russian government decided to re-finance the project and launch the necessary number of satellites to ensure the work of the system to cover the entire area of ​​Russia by 2008, and areas outside of Russia in 2010.

And actually the number of satellites operating amounted to 24 satellites in 2009. The number reached 26 in September / September 2010, which has become the system covers almost the entire surface of the globe. "

Moons spin system "GLONASS" navigation around the Earth in 11 hours and 15 minutes, and this is very suitable for use in high latitudes (northern and southern polar regions), where the signals that the American navigation system "GPS" is weak or does not receive there.

This consists system "GLONASS" currently has 24 satellites are running in three orbital planes, a height of 19,400 kilometers, and tend 64.8 degrees, spread over levels evenly (8 in each level), to cover the entire surface of the globe, while sufficient 18 satellites to cover the entire area Russia.
