Russia wants to set up in cuba indonesia vietnam and spain. The system uses radio time signals to locate people and vehicles on and above the surface of earth.

While gps is the most prevalent gnss other nations are fielding or have fielded their own systems to provide complementary independent pnt capability. Numbers are subject to reuse. Glonass can be added to gps devices making more satellites available and enabling positions to be fixed more quickly and accurately to within two meters 6 6 ft. It only has to be unique during life time of each satellite.

The signal that has been disrupting satellite navigation for planes flying through israeli airspace in recent weeks originates inside a russian air base inside syria according to data collected. Glonass is operated by the russian space forces. One way glonass appears to be ahead of gps is by having satellite systems that are meant for high latitudes where gps systems currently cannot reach. Glonass is the most expensive program of the russian federal space agency.

Soviet union started the development of glonass in 1976. Gc number ground control number russian. The russian satellite had been in orbit less than two weeks when bafflingly it split in two. Currently gps is in the united states europe brazil india china and south africa.

The russian global navigation satellite system was developed contemporaneously with gps but suffered from incomplete coverage of the globe until the mid 2000s. Russia s global orbiting navigation satellite system glonass is a network of navigation satellites in orbit a global positioning system like the american and european gps networks. системный номер номер по наземному комплексу управления is the spacecraft number in almanac.
