Overview of GLONASS

GLONASS

A worldwide Russian global positioning system. developed by the former USSR and is currently operated by the Russian space force.

Number of satellites: 27, Cycle: 11 hours 15 minutes, Altitude: Approx. 19,300 km , Angle of inclination: 64.8°

Modernization of GLONASS

Improvement of GLONASS performance
  • Modernization of the satellite
  • Expansion and modernization of parts on the ground
  • Modernization of master station and built-in watch
  • Improvement of its geodetic system
  • Upgrade of its satellite's S/W and parts on the ground

New GLONASS Blocks

GLONASS-M (compared to GLONASS)

  • A new civilian signal of L2 band
  • Increased satellite lifespan (7 years)
  • Inter-satellite wireless link for improved integrity control and self-operating time
  • Improved stability of built-in clock (1x10-13)
  • Improved solar panel orientation

GLONASS-K

  • New inter-CDMA signal of the L3 band
  • Search and rescue services
  • Increased satellite lifespan (10–12 years)
  • Improved stability of built-in clock (1x10-14)

GLONASS-KM

  • Requirements definition phase
  • New, additional CDMA civilian signals of the L1 and L2 bands
