SPACEWARN Bulletin Number 497


C. Spacecraft Particularly Suited for International Participation: Category I

Russian Global Navigational (Positioning) Spacecraft, GLONASS constellation. (SPACEWARN requests updates/additions from readers to this list. "*" marked entries are updates or additions to the list.)

All GLONASS spacecraft are in the general COSMOS series.The COSMOS numbers invoked by USSPACECOM have often differed from the numbers associated in Russia; when different, the Russian COSMOS numbers are shown in parenthesis. The RAAN changes by about 0.1 deg/month. The corresponding GLONASS numbers are the Russian numbers. (See the previous issue of the Bulletin for the GLONASS numbers commonly attributed outside Russia.)

The operating frequency in MHz is computed from the channel number K. Frequency (MHz) = 1602.0 + 0.5625K, and L2 = 1246.0 + 0.4375K.

The Spacewarn Bulletin thanks Michael G. Lebedev, Head of CSIC, Russian Space Forces, Ministry of Defence, and Richard B. Langley of the University of New Brunswick, Canada for updates to this issue.
