- GLONASS Satellites Characteristics: Satellite name/other name/full name: GLONASS / / Russian GLObal NAvigation Satellite System GLONASS Launch date: set into orbit since 1982 Satellite Number: see previous page under COSPAR IDs Perigee Height: 19 100 km Apogee Height: 19 100 km Eccentricity: roughly circular Inclination: 64.8 degrees Semi-major axis: 25 440 km Comment: The space segment of GLONASS is formed by 24 satellites located on three orbital planes. Each satellite is identified by its slot number, which defines the orbital plane (1-8, 9-16, 17-24) and the location within the plane. The three orbital planes are separated 120 degrees, and the satellites within the the same orbital plane by 45 degrees.
