The Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicle with the Glonass-K satellite was launched from the Plesetsk cosmodrome

The Russian Aerospace Forces launched a new navigation satellite Glonass-K into orbit, the launch vehicle was launched from the Plesetsk cosmodrome in the Arkhangelsk region. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Defense.

According to the report, the Soyuz-2.1b carrier rocket with the Glonass-K spacecraft was launched from the Plesetsk cosmodrome at 05:52 Moscow time. time on October 10, 2022. The rocket launch and pre-launch activities took place in the normal mode. The launch was controlled by means of a ground-based automated spacecraft control complex of the Russian orbital group.

On Monday, October 10, at 05:52 Moscow time, from the state test cosmodrome of the Ministry of Defense (Plesetsk cosmodrome) (...) combat crews of the space forces of the Russian Aerospace Forces successfully launched a Soyuz-2.1b medium-class launch vehicle with a navigation spacecraft "Glonass-K"

- said in a statement.

After a certain time, the rocket with the booster block "Fregat" was taken for escort by ground means of the Main Test Space Center named after G.S.Titov of the Space Forces of the Aerospace Forces.

Glonass-K is a Russian satellite of the GLONASS global navigation system. It belongs to the third generation of satellites of this system ("Glonass" - "Glonass-M" - "Glonass-K"). It differs from its predecessors in a reduced weight, an extended period of active existence and other improvements that are not disclosed. The first satellite of this series went into low Earth orbit in 2011.

It was necessary to send a ton of other bolts. Answer so to speak. We are for peaceful space

[free]

Bolt is good, of course, but a brand new military satellite in orbit will be more interesting, well, fight smart like in the 21st century

[vovochkarzhevsky]

Bolts, that's too big. In a vacuum, a steel ball no more than a millimeter works fine. Even at the school, we were told about such a project to combat a group of enemy satellites as an "iron broom". When satellites stuffed with a huge number of tiny steel balls are launched into the same orbits, the enemy's satellites, but on a collision course. At the right moment, activation occurs, the balls are ejected, turning everything in this orbit into scrap metal.
Moreover, everything is designed so that after several revolutions, all this, including the affected satellites, begins to decline and burn up in the atmosphere.

[begemot20091]

Apparently your uncle told you, who heard something somewhere. The phenomenon of high-speed impact is not new and has been done since "grandfather" times. I am not a scientist, but, the right to say, I wrote my diploma on "artificial spalling" = interconnected. There is a lot on the Internet about this (regarding the needles in orbit - a cloud into which satellites fly, etc., etc. And about communication ...) Here is at least such an article https://habr.com /ru/company/ruvds/blog/587584/

[vovochkarzhevsky]

You have a link to earlier projects littering the orbit.

[begemot20091]

I didn't say it was new. The project "needles" was completed. Accordingly, they were intensively engaged in "artificial breakaway". And I'm not the first - I wrote a diploma in shaggy 1975
a bit like this
https://www.sibran.ru/upload/iblock/ef8/ef8285867641d393ab20f44be8815c8c.PDF

[vovochkarzhevsky]

So also the question is, on what course of the needle, oncoming, or passing.

[begemot20091]

standing cloud. The satellite will take off. At a speed of 5 km per second, an 8x8 copper rod calmly pierces the armor plate (I mean an artificial spall plate on the reverse side). and at 8 km sec - this makes a glass ball.

[vovochkarzhevsky]

And at the opposite speed, the effect is even better.

[Non-fighter]

There was already a calculation on the Internet that "bolts and nuts" in orbit are inefficient. The reason is that satellites don't travel on rails. and hang out in the "tube" of the orbit. And yes, you can grab anything.

Well, if "on the Internet", then of course yes. An irrefutable source of information ..... On these Internets of yours, they also reported about urine therapy and flat earth

[TEX-50]

And they won’t send you a couple of tons of bolts in response, right? Especially considering the number of active satellites they have and we have, will this not affect the defense capability?

Given the number of satellites on each side, we win anyway. We will lose 150 satellites (figuratively), they are 7000.
We have a lot of Soviet weapons and cast iron, and they have a lot of high-precision weapons, which in this case will turn into a pumpkin.

[TEX-50]

What an uncomplicated and rare nonsense! Autumn, yes, complications? They have at least an order of magnitude more satellites in the ranks, tk. warriors are using civilian satellites to the fullest. High-precision weapons will not turn into a pumpkin, because. a ton of bolts can't disable GPS satellites.

Finish with heavy hallucinogens and go at least to fly agaric!

This is your choice, and I, perhaps, will remain on the good, old skate. But you end up with heavy ones, degradation is obvious ..
As for the orders, each destroyed satellite will turn into one, or even several dozen "bolts". But you have fly agarics ....

High-precision weapons will not turn into a pumpkin, because. A ton of bolts can't disable GPS satellites.

Because of their origin? Or what curse?

[TEX-50]

No, it's not a spell. You have no way to destroy GPS satellites with bolts. This is, like him, elementary physics and materiel that you do not know.

I also advise you to tie with blue.

[EvilCommunist]

I hope these satellites will help the Warriors on the front line to crush the pigs!

[ZIF122]

Of course, the accuracy of geolocation will improve! They managed to set up their GLONAS well, otherwise they would have sat on GPS until the Americans turned it off!

[KCA]

Ours also agreed with China to install GLONASS and Beidou ground stations with us

[EvilCommunist]

this is good news thank you
next is a short comment, but once again I thank you for the comment so that this comment is not short

Somehow they are nearby reconnaissance 14F138, this is Lotus from Liana, the name is Cosmos 2455, it’s just that the military has everything Cosmos, well, they said about this launch that Glonass-K, and, probably, a little more functionality

The flower will fly soon , and next month 14F160 K2 No. 13 is scheduled, it is much larger and more interesting.

In addition, this month, among other things, the first demonstration satellite for broadband Internet is also flying:

Great news, increase the number of launches and the number of active satellites in orbit

Interesting information from the web....

Now let's talk about what happened to Starlink.
We’ll warn you right away - our assumptions smell strongly of conspiracy theories,
but one of us has a father devoted his whole life to the study of the ionosphere and
auroral phenomena. So there is a base.
Interruptions and freezes of Starlink in the Kharkiv region began on the night of the 4th to
October 5 - at the moment when in Belgorod and a number of other Saloreikh--> Saloreikh cities
noticed the so-called "light pillars".
Let's be brief - not only Americans have HAARP that can cheer up
ionosphere. Moksha has a Sura project, and besides, several over-the-horizon
radars capable of practically the same thing - the device of a kind
storms in the ionosphere - these are auroral phenomena, but in nature they
found in unstable regions of the ionosphere, closer to the magnetic poles
Earth (the so-called "Northern Lights").
We saw a demonstration of these abilities - and yes, because of this ionospheric
storm (which gradually subsides) "falls off" not only Starlink,
for example, in the Kharkiv region, the Amos 3 / 7-4.0 ° W satellite "fell off" (what we saw
with my own eyes).
That is, on the night of October 4 to 5, Moksha showed the Mask that she could press
Starlink on a meaningful scale.
That is why Musk rushed to play peacemaker - and not vice versa.
Hence the conclusion - when Moksha conducts an offensive in winter, do not count
to Starlink. It's insanely convenient, but...

[Blackmokona]

It's just that the guys from SpaceX did not put permission to serve new areas for Starlink satellites. Wherever the Armed Forces have not advanced, Starlink works without interruption.

That is, the guys from SpaceX "disconnected" the APU from the Starlink satellites or what?
Strange .... Or are they "agents of the Kremlin"?

They didn't turn it off. Satellites have numerous beams that fall on the Earth in hexes, and they are forbidden to work on the territory of Russia. Therefore, where our troops are stationed, Starlink does not work, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine work. When the front moves. SpaceX may be slow to toggle off to on in certain hexes.

[Blackmokona]

Here you can see the coverage and hexes, in Ukraine.

It's clear. But I will offer conspiracy theories from myself:
The installations were switched on in "test mode". Once. It's like in life --- before throwing the substance on the fan with shovels, they first run a "trial poop".
And if you believe this article, then some (so far short-term) failures in the operation of Starlink among local consumers took place. And the guys from SpaceX either missed something, or, more likely, did not comment on this incident. We'll see....

Musk commented. He said that everything that happens at the front is a military secret. Therefore, in general, there will be no official information from SpaceX.

Well, the notorious "no comment ..."
Even before all these events, our physicists carried out some kind of scientific experiments. And now it's time to test your achievements in real conditions already on foreign satellites. And based on the results of this impact, analyze and determine whether it makes sense to use these installations further. If the effect is successful, then it is necessary to develop specific methods for paralyzing the work of enemy satellites and so as not to harm our own. For example, to calculate the time of the best moment to work in the upper atmosphere or after the launch and flight of our GLONASS-based weapons, and only then "turn on" the installations.

[solar]

We’ll warn you right away - our assumptions smell strongly of conspiracy theories

I would even say, with my usual proletarian spontaneity, that it stinks of conspiracy theories.
Starlink did not work near the line of contact, as Musk turns off starlink in the territory controlled by Russian troops, and does not always have time to switch when the situation changes. In the depths of the territory of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, he both worked and works.

[KCA]

Well, over-the-horizon radars and ionospheric radio communications just cause disturbances not over the entire planet, but in the area where they are directed

[solar]

when I served, we had R-410 tropospheric communication stations. There were no outrages.

[KCA]

So how could you know about it? Over-the-horizon communication was just obtained due to the properties of the troposphere to reflect the radio signal, besides, the troposphere is 10-12 km, and the ionosphere is 50-1000 km, and the frequencies are different, for the tropospheric SW and LW, for the ionospheric SWD

[solar]

elementary. Relays worked in parallel with them. And the work of the R-410 did not interfere with them in any way.

[KCA]

So the relays work as a directional antenna on the mast, 20-30 meters high, and the troposphere is from 8 km

“I don’t agree! Can’t you have 10 cakes and one candle?” (Carlson, who ...) well, at least 10 satellites ...

But it has 10 warheads.
