Additional information COSMOS 2459 (GLONASS)
Kosmos 2459 (Russian: ?????? 2459 meaning Cosmos 2459) is one of a set of three Russian military satellites launched in 2010 as part of the GLONASS satellite navigation system. It was launched with Kosmos 2460 and Kosmos 2461.
This satellite is a GLONASS-M satellite, also known as Uragan-M, and is numbered Uragan-M No. 731.Kosmos 2459/60/61 were launched from Site 81/24 at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. A Proton-M carrier rocket with a Blok DM upper stage was used to perform the launch which took place at 21:19 UTC on 1 March 2010. The launch successfully placed the satellites into Medium Earth orbit. It subsequently received its Kosmos designation, and the international designator 2010-007A. The United States Space Command assigned it the Satellite Catalog Number 36400.It is in the third orbital plane of the GLONASS constellation, in orbital slot 22. It started operations on 28 March 2010.
