Additional information COSMOS 2426 (GLONASS)
Kosmos 2426 (Russian: ?????? 2426 meaning Cosmos 2426) is one of a set of three Russian military satellites launched in 2006 as part of the GLONASS satellite navigation system. It was launched with Kosmos 2424 and Kosmos 2425.
This satellite is a GLONASS-M satellite, also known as Uragan-M. It was assigned GLONASS-M ?17 number by the manufacturer and 717 by the Ground Control.
Kosmos 2424/5/6 were launched from Site 81/24 at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. A Proton-K carrier rocket with a Blok DM upper stage was used to perform the launch which took place at 20:18 UTC on 25 December 2006. The launch successfully placed the satellites into Medium Earth orbit. It subsequently received its Kosmos designation, and the international designator 2006-062B. The United States Space Command assigned it the Satellite Catalog Number 29671.It is in the second orbital plane in orbital slot 10. It started operations on 3 April 2007.
