NORAD Catalog Number is also known as U.S. Space Command (USSPACECOM) object number and NASA catalog number. 2. The numbers listed in the "Kosmos Numbers" column are the designators assigned by the Russian Federation. Formerly, NORAD had sometimes assigned different designators due to confusion in first tracking tripple-launched satellites. NORAD switched the designators of GLONASS satellites to the Russian ones back to Kosmos 2206 and perhaps to even earlier launched satellites. In 2006, the GLONASS Control Center switched the Kosmos numbers of GLONASS 796 and 712 to 2411 and 2413 respectively in its GLONASS status reports. It was not known if this was a real change or just a typographical error. However, they have persisted with these changes and so the table above has been amended to reflect the changes. 3. In the "M?" column, modernized GLONASS satellites are indicated with "M." "M*" indicates a development or prototype GLONASS-M satellite. K1 satellites transmit the legacy L1 and L2 signals as well as a new L3 signal. 4. Channel number, k, indicates L1 and L2 carrier frequencies: L1 = 1602. + 0.5625 k (MHz) k L2 = 1246. + 0.4375 k (MHz) k 5. Almanac number refers to identification in broadcast almanac and/or physical orbital slot. If the satellite is not currently in the broadcast almanac, its orbital slot number is given in parentheses. 6. Status codes: Main = satellite in maintenance mode. Res = satellite not in service but held in reserve. OK = satellite fully operational. UNH = satellite currently flagged unhealthy. UNH-DE = satellite flagged unhealthy and being decommissioned. CHK = satellite undergoing checkout and/or tests. The date listed is the date the satellite was removed from service (Moscow Time) as reported by the Information - Analytical Centre, Moscow. 7. All GLONASS satellites employ cesium atomic clocks. 8. The first GLONASS satellite was launched on 12-Oct-82. GLONASS 1 through 94 are no longer in service. 9. GLONASS 40 and 41 were launched with the Etalon 1 laser ranging satellite. GLONASS 42 and 43 were launched with Etalon 2. 10. The GLONASS numbering scheme used in this table includes the 8 "dummy" satellites orbited as ballast along with "real" satellites on the first 7 GLONASS launches. The second number in the "GLONASS Numbers" column is that assigned by the Russian Space Forces. 11. New GLONASS channel allocations were introduced in September 1993 aimed at reducing interference to radio astronomy. Note the use of the same channel on pairs of antipodal satellites. 12. Two GLONASS launches took place recently. A triple-satellite launch from Baikonur (Block 44) occurred on 4-Nov-11 at 12:51:41 UTC (ref. NAGU 054-111107). The three GLONASS-M satellites, 743/Kosmos 2475, 744/Kosmos 2476, and 745/Kosmos 2477, were placed in orbital slots 2, 3, and 7 respectively (ref. NAGU 54-111107). GLONASS 743 is being held as a reserve satellite. GLONASS 744 and 745 were set healthy on 8-Dec-11 at 07:42 UTC (ref. NAGU 057-111208) and 23-Dec-11 at 09:10 UTC (ref. NAGU 063-111223), respectively. A single-satellite launch of GLONASS-M 746 from Plesetsk took place on 28-Nov-11 at 08:25:58 UTC (ref. Roscosmos). The satellite was set healthy on 23-Dec-11 at 09:10 UTC (ref. NAGU 063-11123). However, Roscosmos indicated that the satellite was usable from about 22:00 UTC on 22-Dec-11. 13. GLONASS 712 was changed from an active to a reserve satellite on 14-Dec-11 at 21:01 UTC (ref. NAGU 059-111215 and Roscosmos). 14. GLONASS 714 was changed from an active to a reserve satellite on 19-Dec-11 at 21:01 UTC (ref. NAGU 062-111220 and Roscosmos). 15. GLONASS 701K stopped transmitting on 10-Oct-11 and its assigned almanac slot was subsequently changed from 4 to 3 on 12-Oct-11. It began transmitting again on its assigned frequency channel (-5) on 31-Oct-11. It occupies slot 21 in orbit plane 3. It was set unhealthy in the broadcast almanac as it undergoes flight tests although it was sometimes set healthy in its ephemeris. On 30-Nov-11, the satellite ceased transmissions on its assigned channel and was removed from the almanac (ref. IGS). It was reactivated by early April 2012 and began transmitting again on frequency channel -5. It is not a primary satellite and does not appear in the almanac. It is identified as satellite 26 in its broadcast ephemeris. 16. Number of GLONASS satellites currently in service: 24. 17. Number of GLONASS satellites currently usable: 24. 18. Constellation plot: Green: healthy satellite Red: unhealthy/unusable satellite Orange: reserve or test satellite. 19. Next GLONASS launch is scheduled for fall 2012. 20.
