GLONASS (GLObal NAvigation Satellite System)

GLONASS is the Russian Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). A network of 24 satellites continuously transmits high-frequency radio signals, containing time and distance data that can be picked up by any GLONASS receiver, allowing the user to pinpoint their position anywhere on Earth.

Developed and operated by the Russian Federation Ministry of Defense, the first GLONASS satellite launched in 1982. In 1996 Russia agreed to work with the International space-science community to establish a universal standard for the development of GNSS. The network required to efficiently cover the Earth was completed with the launch of the 24^th GLONASS satellite in 1998.

The signals are available 24 hours a day in any weather condition, everywhere around the world.
