Russian positioning satellite GLONASS-M was successfully launched on May 29
The Russian positioning satellite GLONASS-M (No.53) was launched on a Soyuz 2.1B rocket at 11:44 on May 29 local time (17:44 JST) from Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia. The satellite was put onto an orbit near its prescribed orbit (altitude of 19,100 kilometers and inclination of 64.77 degrees), making the launch a success.

This launch is to maintain the 24-satellite GLONASS satellite positioning system operated by Russia. It also shows that communication with the ground system and on-board equipment is functioning normally. GLONASS is currently a 28-satellite constellation with 24 satellites under operation, three undergoing flight tests and operational checks, and one spare satellite.
