On-Orbit Signal Problem Delays Next GLONASS Satellite Launch; Russian Space Agency Investigates

On-Orbit Signal Problem Delays Next GLONASS Satellite Launch; Russian Space Agency Investigates

GLONASS Launch, September 25, 2008

A problem caused by the signal generator in an on-orbit GLONASS-M satellite (#726) led the Russian space agency (Roscosmos) officials to delay a scheduled September 25 launch of three new spacecraft.

Sergey Revnivykh, deputy director general of Roscosmos’s Central Research Institute of Machine Building, told Inside GNSS today (September 30) that the agency has set up a task force that includes Revnivykh to investigate the problem with the on-orbit satellite and to ensure that the new spacecraft are free of similar technical difficulties.

OCX budget Cut Could Slow Program; First IIF Might Launch by May 2010

An increasingly likely $97.4-million cut in the GPS OCX budget for fiscal year 2010 (FY10) would slow down work on modernization of the operational control segment, but the Air Force would try to recoup any reduction in the FY11 budget.

Meanwhile, technical problems that have delayed development of the follow-on generation of Block IIF satellites are largely resolved and a first launch is expected in May 2010.
