В Глонассе сейчас 20 спутников.Никто пока не "сдыхал"
Из орбитальной группировки ГЛОНАСС выведен еще один спутник, сообщает сайт R&D.CNews со ссылкой на информационно-аналитический центр системы ГЛОНАСС.
Причина прекращения работы аппарата - сбой в системе определения координат. Спутник номер 795 был выведен на орбиту 10 декабря 2003 года. В штатном режиме он работает с 9 января 2004 года.
В настоящее время в орбитальную группировку входит 20 спутников. В рабочем режиме эксплуатируются только 16 из них. Три спутника находятся на техническом обслуживании, а четвертый ожидает ввода в систему.
О трудностях, возникающих при реализации проекта ГЛОНАСС, в понедельник, 26 января, на итоговом заседании коллегии Роскосмоса в Москве рассказал вице-премьер РФ Сергей Иванов. Он отметил, что управление программой ГЛОНАСС и деятельность государственных заказчиков при ее реализации являются неэффективными.
Что касается покрытия ГЛОНАСС, то при 17 работающих спутниках Сибирь была обеспечена сигналом почти полностью, а Дальний Восток и европейская часть России - на 92-97 процентов. Такие цифры назвал в конце января источник агентства "Интерфакс" на космодроме Байконур

Glonass was a Soviet space-based navigation system comparable to the American GPS system.
At the end of the 1960's the military identified a need for a Satellite Radio Navigation System (SRNS) for use in precision guidance of the planned new generation of ballistic missiles. The existing Tsiklon satellite navigation system could not be used for this purpose; it required several minutes of observation by the receiving station to fix a position. What was needed were navigation satellites of a new generation with autonomous orbit correction.
In 1968 to 1969 research institutes of the Ministry of Defense, Academy of Sciences, and Soviet Navy worked together to establish a single solution for air, land, sea, and space forces. This resulted in a 1970 TTT requirements document that established the requirements for such a system. After further basic research in December 1976 a decree was issued by the Soviet state for establishment of the YeKNS/GLONASS Global Navigation Satellite System. The schedule was revised in August 1979 and July 1981. Technical specification were set by a review commission in August 1976. The draft project was completed in 1977-1978. A September 1978 state commission reviewed the draft TTZ specification, which was completed in November 1978. This consolidated the requirements of the Ministry of Defense and eight other ministries (civil aviation, commercial shipping, etc.).
The decree of 29 August 1979 scheduled flight trials of 4 to 6 prototypes in 1981, preliminary acceptance of a 10-12 satellite constellation by 1984, and operation of the complete 24 satellite system by the end of 1987. Reshetnev at NPO PM was responsible for the complete satellite, with PO Radiopribor MOM under N Ye Ivanov providing the control, communications, and housekeeping systems. LNRII MRP under Yu G Guzhra built the navigation-timing system. Actual flight trials began in October 1982 with the launch of two mass dummies aboard a Proton booster. This was followed by a total of 22 spacecraft by the end of 1987, and 31 by the end of 1989.
Two Etalon geodetic satellites were also flown in the 19,100 km GLONASS orbit to fully characterize the gravitational field at the planned altitude and inclination.
The GLONASS signals were also used by many Western GPS receivers as a complement/backup to the GPS system itself. The operational system contained 21 satellites in 3 orbital planes, with 3 on-orbit spares. Glonass provided 100 meters accuracy with its C/A (deliberately degraded) signals and 10-20 meter accuracy with its P (military) signals. The spacecraft was 3-axis stabilized, nadir pointing and had dual solar arrays. The payload included L-Band navigation signals in 25 channels separated by 0.5625 MHz intervals in 2 frequency bands: 1602.5625 - 1615.5 MHz and 1240 - 1260 MHz. EIRP 25 to 27 dBW, right hand circular polarized. On-board cesium clocks provided time accuracy to 1000 nanoseconds.
Design Life: 1 to 2 years. Typical orbit: 19,100 km circular, 64.8 deg inclination, 8 day re. Mass: 1,370 kg (3,020 lb).

The Block D upper stage delivered three GLONASS navigation satellites into their planned orbits at 08:39 GMT. These satellites were placed in GLONASS orbit plane 3. The satellites had an extended seven-year service life compared to earlier models. This was the sixth end-of-year replenishment launch since 2000. When operational they brought the total of operational GLONASS SVs in orbit to 16. The launch was part of a Russian government-funded program to replenish and expand the Glonass constellation to at least 18 operating satellites satellites by 2007 (compared to 14 satellites at the end of 2005). In 2006 launch of a new Glonass satellite design with a ten-year service was planned.
* 2005 December 25 - Cosmos 2418 - Launch Site: Baikonur. Launch Complex: LC81/24. Launch Vehicle: Proton. Mass: 1,480 kg (3,260 lb). Perigee: 19,110 km (11,870 mi). Apogee: 19,130 km (11,880 mi). Inclination: 64.80 deg.
* 2005 December 25 - Cosmos 2419 - Launch Site: Baikonur. Launch Complex: LC81/24. Launch Vehicle: Proton. Mass: 1,480 kg (3,260 lb). Perigee: 19,110 km (11,870 mi). Apogee: 19,130 km (11,880 mi). Inclination: 64.80 deg.
* 2006 December 24 - Cosmos 2424 - Launch Site: Baikonur. Launch Complex: LC81/24. Launch Vehicle: Proton. Mass: 2,480 kg (5,460 lb).
Three Glonass satellites are lofted in a single launch in support of restoring the Glonass navigation satellite constellation to full military and commercial functionality. They were placed in Glonass orbit plane 2, beginning its population. At the time of launch the constellation consisted of 11 operational spacecraft, and five more on-orbit spares. A fully operational constellation would consist of 24 satellites - eight in each of three orbital planes. Only two planes were populated by 2006 - the full complement of 24 satellites was not to be reached until 2009. This was the first launch to repopulate plane 2; planes 1 and 3 had satellites operational.

Между прочим, на "Космос 1413" была моя подпись - расписался по традиции на изделии первого пуска. Карандашом "Конструктор 2М". :grin: Надеюсь, это не повлияло на неуспех....
