SPACEWARN Bulletin Number 493

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; GLONASS 1 through 48, 50, 52, 53, 58, and 59 are inoperational or not in service. The COSMOS numbers may occasionally differ from the numbers associated in Russia.

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