Additional information COSMOS 2081 (GLONASS)

COSMOS 2081 [GLONASS], also known as Kosmos-2081, is a satellite launched on May 19, 1990, from the TYMSC launch site using the Proton-K/DM-2 launch vehicle. The spacecraft has a length of 4 meters, a diameter of 1.5 meters, and a span of 7.8 meters with solar arrays deployed. It weighs 1300 kg at launch, with a dry mass of 1200 kg. Equipped for navigation purposes as part of the Uragan constellation, it uses two deployable solar arrays for power generation along with batteries to maintain its operations. Manufactured by POL and operated under UNKS ownership, COSMOS 2081 has a designed lifetime of 3 years and is identified by the NORAD catalog ID 20621. Its shape consists of a cylindrical body plus antennas and two panels for solar arrays, providing it with a radar cross-section (RCS) of approximately 1.703 square meters.
