The enterprise is also creating advanced spacecraft Glonass-K, the first of which has already been put into orbit and is undergoing the stage of flight design tests.

Glonass-K

"Glonass-K" - promising spacecraft of the Global Navigation Satellite System GLONASS. Compared to their predecessors, the Glonass-M satellites, they have improved technical characteristics and an extended active lifetime. Their main difference from the previous generation spacecraft is that in addition to the emission of navigation signals with frequency division in the L1 and L2 bands, they will also emit a civil navigation signal with a code division in the L3 band. This will significantly, up to tens of centimeters, improve the accuracy of navigational determinations.

Glonass-K satellites are multifunctional. A special radio-technical complex is installed on board to work in the international search and rescue system for those in distress KOSPAS-SARSAT.

The first spacecraft of this type was put into orbit in 2011, the second - in 2014. Currently, ISS JSC is also developing advanced navigation satellites - Glonass-K of the second stage.

Navigational satellites of the new generation Glonass-K are launched from the Plesetsk cosmodrome by a Soyuz-2-1b launch vehicle with a Fregat upper stage.

Glonass-M

Satellites "Glonass-M" form the basis of the orbital constellation of the GLONASS system. They provide navigation information and accurate time signals to land, sea, air and space users. Devices of this type continuously emit four navigation signals with frequency division in two frequency bands - L1 and L2.

Operating as part of 24 Glonass-M spacecraft, the Russian global navigation satellite system provides location of objects with an accuracy of about 5 meters for civilian users.

The Glonass-M spacecraft are launched into orbit one at a time by the Soyuz-2 launch vehicle with the Fregat upper stage from the Plesetsk cosmodrome or as part of blocks of three satellites by the Proton-M launch vehicle with the upper stage " Breeze-M from the Baikonur Cosmodrome.

Geodesy
