The GLONASS system: the group is fully deployed and fully operational

The Russian orbital constellation of the GLONASS satellite system has begun to function in full, - according to the information and analytical center of Roscosmos.

“Maintenance of the Glonass-M spacecraft No.743 (8 operating point) has been successfully completed, the device is being used for its intended purpose. The orbital group GLONASS is fully deployed, "- said in a statement published on Tuesday. Earlier it was planned that this satellite will begin work 3 March.

Recall that for 100% coverage with the GLONASS navigation signal of the entire Earth, 24 KA is needed, and now the specified number of vehicles is used for its intended purpose. In addition, the 2 spacecraft is temporarily taken up for maintenance, two more are in the orbital reserve and the 1 spacecraft is at the flight test stage.

Thus, in the world today, only two such systems are successfully operating - it is the American GPS and the Russian GLONASS. The Chinese “Beidou” (North Bucket) is so far distributed only to Asian states and, as expected, will enter the world market with a noticeable lag by about 2020 year.

Igor Afanasyev, editor of the magazineNews cosmonautics ", believes that the next step is to develop the ground segment of the system:

- The fact that the group is fully deployed indicates that the specified characteristics have been achieved, and there is also a minimum accuracy (from two to five meters without the use of ground bindings).

It remains to develop the ground segment - this is the user equipment, both for government and civilian use. Then it will be possible to increase the accuracy and reliability of determining the coordinates.

The system was ordered by the military, but now due to the fact that the system is deployed and can be used by civilians. In combination with the already used American GPS system, the reliability of determining the coordinates increases dramatically, because these systems complement each other. Any user of such equipment will be able to determine their coordinates well anywhere in the world.

The satellites themselves, our and American, in principle, correspond to each other. Another thing is that, until recently, our domestic ground equipment did not differ in high performance, but this segment is already being mastered.

"In addition, 2 spacecraft have been temporarily taken out for maintenance, two more are in the orbital reserve and 1 spacecraft is at the stage of flight tests."

It sounds unusual for an amateur, and it seems like in orbit, men in overalls change the oil in satellites during maintenance, and during flight tests, the satellite lands and takes off on the runway.
And why, by the way, with European Galileo, is it so called?

[Sgt.]

with European Galileo The first types of services should be presented in 2014, all types of services - not earlier than 2016. The total cost of the project at this stage is 3,4 billion euros. By 2015, another 14 satellites will be put into orbit, and the rest by 2020. Navigation inaccuracy should not exceed 30 cm, while receiving a signal from eight to ten satellites. Shorter behind

If they had not buried "Buran", it would be so.

I think you should not disconnect! In 2008, during the war with Georgia, Glonass completely refused to work :-) So there is no guarantee that it will work as GPS

[Mikhail3]

Why did you find out? Very interesting. And also, can anyone know what survivability these satellites have? Is it really still five or six years old ?!

Cupids have 31 satellites, including for interchange!

Hello everyone! News +, the main thing is that the system functionality is up to standard. Such a system is needed by the military, as a matter of fact, in general, time will tell which system is preferable, in other words, what civilians, GPS or GLONASS will buy

In any case, the navigator will be, but what will the nafigators say about this?

The new phones with navigation have GLONASS support.

The two most effective methods of work of science and technology. Proven by history.

1. The method of scientific poking. Hit - developed.
2. The method of highly scientific poke (or abbreviated as PUMP). Not developed - GOT.

There is also the Ipatiev method. Not done - we will sleep . It is used both with the two listed, and independently in the process ...

Exactly!!! So it is in our life ...

I use GLONASS in the service (GPS is prohibited). There are glitches and inaccuracies, there is something to work on. However, overall the signal quality has very, very improved.

For user navigators in a direct "satellite-consumer" scheme, the accuracy of the GPS system for non-military users has an error in longitude and latitude of 2.00-8.76 meters when the navigator uses 6-11 satellites. GLONASS has an error in longitude and latitude of 4.46-7.38 meters when using 7-8 satellites. At the same time, with the simultaneous use of two systems by the navigator, the error is reduced to 1.5-3 meters. Therefore, it is better to use "hybrids". And most importantly, in terms of RELIABILITY of reception, they also win.they “see” at the same time more satellites than devices capable of working with only one of the systems.. Enough more than three to calculate the location of the object.
GLONASS satellites continuously emit two types of navigation signals: standard accuracy navigation signal in the L1 band (1,6 GHz) and navigation high-precision signal in the ranges L1 and L2 (1,2 GHz). The information provided by the navigation signal of standard accuracy is available to all consumers on an ongoing and global basis. The high-precision signal is intended mainly for consumers of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, and its unauthorized use is strongly discouraged.

GMPs also have glitches, I remember driving from Moscow towards Chernogolovka, so it turned out that we were not following the highway, but directly through the forest ...

[Goodmen]

Finally! Done! Surely there are still a lot of improvements to be made, but these are the details. And then it depends somehow dumbly on Amersky GPS.

For civilian consumption, it’s enough to buy a navigator with GLONASS support or an iPhone. Currently, the total number of GLONASS-capable device models is counted in dozens. GLONASS support is built into the iPhone, starting with iPhone 4S, Xiaomi Phone 2, Garmin eTrex, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Sony Xperia S, HTC One S and others. American manufacturer of mobile chips Qualcomm manufactures a family of chips for receiving GPS and GLONASS signals: Snapdragon. The latest version is Snapdragon 4
For accurate (cadastral measurements) or object binding, a network of reference stations is used, similar to cellular communications. In 2011 such networks with a single computing center have already been created in the Moscow region and Novosibirsk. In Novosibirsk, 19 stations were made in the regional centers of the Novosibirsk Region at a distance of 42 to 80 km from one another. All of them are located in the buildings of the regional departments of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate. The CC is located on the territory of geodetic aquademia.
Each base station receives signals from satellites of the GLONASS and GPS systems and transmits information to the computer center via fiber optic communication lines. The coverage radius of each base station, without losing the necessary accuracy, reaches 50 kilometers.
In the computing center in the Leica GNSS Spider software package, information is processed and differential corrections are generated in various formats.
Differential corrections in various formats are available to end users for performing measurements, surveys and accurate navigation in real time on the Internet via mobile operators using the GPRS protocol.
Now agreements are concluded with more than 40 regions, but to this day the system operates in Mosobl BTI and Novosibirsk region.
SDKM is still abroad only in Antarctica and recently opened in Brazil, all the rest in Russia.

[Ascetic]

Moscow agreed with Washington to deploy equipment in the United States to support the GLONASS satellite navigation system
American stations for updating the GPS signal have been on the territory of Russia since the 90s.
Thanks to ground stations, Andrei Ionin, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Cosmonautics, emphasized that the accuracy of the systems is approximately doubled:
The more such stations there are and the more evenly they are distributed on the planet, the better the accuracy of the navigation signal. The Americans did so long ago, and their stations are located - there are several dozen of them - all over the Earth. Such stations were placed several years ago even in Antarctica. ”
But Russia for a long time placed stations only on its territory. This reduced the competitive advantages of GLONASS. However, in recent years, Moscow has become preoccupied with creating a global network of ground stations, similar to the American one.
In total, GLONASS ground stations are planned to be deployed in approximately 30 countries. Experts emphasize that this will not affect the defense capability of the states in whose territory equipment for navigation systems will appear. Indeed, in the event of a military threat, the station of the likely enemy will be easily blocked.

But still, if anyone sees a shooting star, do not rush to make a wish, but rather congratulate our space forces on the successful completion of the task.

It's not good to do such dirty tricks ... but I would still do it with pleasure! Although I understand that this is a dirty trick all the same! Well, a person cannot be ideal!

and we also need to stop launching them from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on our missiles.

Cool! Though being late in 20 years (Thanks to Gorbach and EBN), but they did it!

Hello! Yes no, in 30 years. The first satellite was launched back in 1982!

[shpuntik]

At last! It remains a cell phone, a smartphone to do, at least at the level of Apple 4S. PS And one more thing: I would drop six GPS-satellites satellites, to maintain balance of power, and to restore justice ... :-)

[erased]

Well, the good news. Somewhat late, but still. Now you can transfer all systems to GLONASS.

[Sirocco]

Easy giving but hard to believe. I have Garmin 60, took this miracle for 12 tyrov. Not every friend of mine expressed a desire to shell out such money. As it is known, our navigators expect to sell even more expensive. And they should cost at least within 5-6 thousand as an average cell phone. Something like this.

It remains to catch up and overtake the ubiquitous Yankees.

You don’t know Russian. DO NOT CLIM. Institutions think that it would be impossible to rewind an electric meter and that the whole country would reel

[Monty]

This system was made in order to milk the Russians, monitor them, etc. In the end, when it comes to the chips, you will be under full control and if you say that it’s bad about Putin you will be found and executed immediately.

[TS3sta3]

You will be mistaken. GLONAS - the military system. It is intended, first of all, in order to more accurately drop bombs on the heads of terrorists, bandits, as well as tolerasts, all-prosralist, paravalics and other traitors living in Russia as well. So fear, you have already figured out.

The trouble is that many fishing companies find it unprofitable to equip our vessels with glonas, because it will immediately be clear in which zones they fish. And they often catch illegally in foreign territorial waters. I say this because I am familiar with this at work when I was a sailor

In modern conditions, this system is necessary for accurate shooting, and its normal functioning is an important factor in the country's defense.
