• 71e4da18-db10-4218-b255-14433a253e45 definition "The first proposal to use satellites for navigation was made by V.S.Shebashevich in 1957. This idea was born during the investigation of the possible application of radio-astronomy technologies for aeronavigation. Further investigations were conducted in a number of the Soviet institutions to increase the accuracy of navigation definitions, global support, daily application and independence from weather conditions. The research results were used in 1963 for R&D project on the first Soviet low-orbit “Cicada” system. In 1967 the first navigation Soviet satellite 'Cosmos-192' was launched. The navigation satellite provided continuous radio navigation signal transmission on 150 and 400 MHz during its active lifetime. The “Cicada” system of four satellites was commissioned in 1979. The navigation satellites were placed into circular orbits 1,000 km high with an inclination of 83 ° and equal distribution of orbital planes to the equator. It allowed users to acquire one of the satellites every hour and a half or two and fix the position within 5-6 min of a navigation session. The navigation system “Cicada” used one-way user-to-satellite range measurements. Along with improvement of the satellite onboard systems and navigation equipment much attention was given to enhancing accuracy of determining and predicting parameters of the navigation satellite orbits. Later, receiving measuring equipment was disposed on the “Cicada” satellites to detect distress radiobeacons. The satellites received these signals and rebroadcast them to special ground stations where the computation of the exact coordinates of the emergency objects (ships, aircraft, etc.) was held. The “Cicada” satellites tracking distress radiobecons formed “Cospas” system that together with the US-French-Canadian 'Sarsat' system built an integrated search and rescue service that saved several thousands of lives. The “Cicada” space navigation system (and its “Cicada-M” modernization) was designed for navigation support of military users and had been in use since 1976. In 2008 “Cicada” and “Cicada-M” users started to use GLONASS system and the operation of those systems was halted. It was impossible for the low-orbit systems to meet requirements of a great number of users. Successful operation of the low-orbit satellite navigation systems by the marine users attracted widespread attention to satellite navigation. A general-purpose navigation system was needed to meet the requirements of the great majority of prospective users. Based on the all-round research it was decided to choose the orbital constellation consisting of 24 satellites equally distributed in three orbital planes inclined at 64.8° to the equator. The GLONASS satellites are placed in roughly circular orbits with the nominal orbit altitude 19,100 km and an orbital period of 11 hours, 15 minutes, 44 seconds. Due to the period value it became possible to create a sustainable orbital system that unlike GPS does not require supporting correcting pulses during its active lifetime. The nominal inclination ensures global availability on the territory of the Russian Federation even when several SVs are not operational. Two challenges have been faced for designing a high-orbit navigation system. The first one dealt with mutual synchronized satellite timescales with the accuracy of billionths of a second (nanoseconds). It became possible because of high-orbit onboard caesium frequency standards with nominal stability at 10-13 and ground hydrogen frequency standard with nominal stability at 10-14 and also because of ground facilities of time scale comparison with error of 3-5 ns. The second challenge addressed high-precision determination and prediction of navigation satellite orbit parameters. This issue was solved with scientific research on second order factors of infinitesimals, such as light pressure, irregularities of the Earth rotation and polar motions and etc. Flight tests of the Russian high orbit satellite navigation system, called GLONASS, were started in October, 1982 with the launch of “Kosmos-1413” satellite. The GLONASS system was formally declared operational in 1993. In 1995 it was brought to a fully operational constellation (24 GLONASS satellites of the first generation). A great drawback that should have been focused on consisted in the lack of civil navigation equipment and civil users. Reduction in funding for space industry in 1990 led to degradation of the GLONASS constellation. In 2002 the GLONASS constellation consisted of 7 satellites that was insufficient for navigation support of the Russian territory even with limited availability. GLONASS was behind GPS in accuracy characteristics, SVs active lifetime comprised 3-4 years." @default.
