Glonass Update

The head of the Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos) announced that the number of satellites in the Glonass constellation will jump from the current 16 to 30 by 2011. That includes six to be launched by the end of this year. Glonass will have strong coverage at the poles, something key for mining natural resources in those areas.

Three more GLONASS satelites in orbit since last Thursday (25 September 2008) and three more planned for launch on 25 December 2008.
For more information on GLONASS and the other GNSS systems have a look at my web page.
