Sept. 22: A Soyuz-2-1b/Fregat-M rocket to launch the GLONASS-M No. 52 satellite from Plesetsk for Russia's global satellite navigation network, GLONASS. The spacecraft was built by ISS Reshetnev based in Zheleznogorsk, Russia, more than two years prior its launch and put in storage to serve as a spare vehicle. The launch of GLONASS-M No. 52 was earlier planned for Sept. 6, 2017, but in July 2017, it was postponed to Sept. 22 of the same year. On Aug. 25, 2017, ISS Reshetnev announced that GLONASS M No. 52 had been air-shipped to Plesetsk aboard an Il-76 transport plane. At the time, the company still had six GLONASS-M satellites in stand-by mode on the ground for the replenishment of the GLONASS constellation on the "as-needed" basis.
"And then, there will be no spares."Not in space but there are six GLONASS-M spares on the ground, which can be launched on demand (http://gpsworld.com/glonass-m-satellite-shipped-to-cosmodrome-for-launch/).-- Richard Langley

AFAIU, the GLONASS M launches are currently "on need for replacement".I.e., just like this launch: as old satellite fails they launch replacement.In other words, they do not plan to maintain orbital spares (well, at least this is what I heard).With respect to triplet launch by Proton - they have this as an option for a case of multiple failures in a short period.So it is not canceled in a strict sense, however it may never happen.And finally there is a launch of GLONASS K1 scheduled for late 2018, although it's unclear if the sat will be ready.

MOSCOW, May 8. /TASS/. The first launch of the Glonass satellites with the Angara carrier rocket is planned for 2024, according to the Strategy of GLONASS Development until 2030."The first launch of two Glonass-K2 spacecraft with the Angara rocket will take place in the first quarter of 2024. Angara will also deliver two satellites to the orbit in the third and fourth quarter of 2025 each," the document said.In 2024-2032, 18 Glonass-K2 satellites will be delivered to the orbit by nine Angara carrier rockets.Russian satellite Glonass-K2 is a modernized version of Glonass-K. It will be able to transmit nine navigation signals. The satellite's mass will be around 1,800 kg (twice as much as that of Glonass-K1).
In 2019–2033, it is planned to launch four Glonass-M satellites, nine Glonass-K and 33 Glonass-K2.In 2019, three Glonass-Ms and one Glonass-K and Glonass-K2 are to be put into orbit, in 2020 one Glonass-M, three Glonass-Ks and one Glonass К2 ", in 2021 - three" Glonass-K ", in 2022 - one each" Glonass-K "and" Glonass-K2 ". In 2023 it is planned to launch one Glonass-K and Glonass-K2, in 2024 four Glonass-K2, in 2025 six Glonass-K2, in 2026 two Glonass-K2 ".In 2029, it is planned to launch three Glonass-K2, in 2030 - seven Glonass-K2, in 2031 - three Glonass-K2, in 2032 - two Glonass-K2, in 2033 - two "Glonassa-K2".In 2025, it is planned to completely switch to the use of new-generation Glonass-K and Glonass-K2 satellites, which differ from the previous-generation Glonass-M satellites by the large number of emitted navigation signals.In addition, in the years 2023-2025, the Glonass-V high-orbit navigation satellites will be added to the GLONASS system in order to improve the accuracy of the GLONASS system.
MOSCOW, May 9th. / Tass /. Nearly 50 satellites of the GLONASS navigation system are planned to be launched before the end of 2033. This is stated in the System Development Strategy until 2033, which is at the disposal of TASS.In particular, in the years 2019-2020, 10 satellites of the system should go on Soyuz-2 launch vehicles. From 2024, the spacecraft will launch into space not only on the Soyuz missiles, but also on the heavy version of the Angara launch vehicle. In total, from 2024 to 2034, nine Angara-A5 rocket launches with navigation system satellites are planned.According to the strategy, the Soyuz missiles will be delivered into space by one satellite of the system, while the Angara will deliver two vehicles each. According to the materials, the possibility of using Proton missiles for future launches of the GLONASS system is no longer foreseen.
Economy 10:26, June 25, 2019The authorities will postpone the launch of serial production of Glonass-K satellitesFor them, there are not enough imported parts, the supplies of which are limited by sanctions, learned RBCMoscow. June 25th. INTERFAX.RU - The government can freeze funding for the mass production of Glonass-K satellites, since they lack imported parts, RBC learned . The site refers to the opinion of the Accounts Chamber on the draft amendments to the federal budget for 2019.It is impossible to assemble these satellites and produce ground-based control complexes "due to restrictions on the supply of foreign-made electronic components and the impossibility of their operational replacement," the document says.In this regard, in 2019, budget expenditures under the federal targeted program (FTP) “Maintaining, developing and using the Glonass system for 2012–2020” will be reduced by 12.9 billion rubles. 6.9 billion rubles from the reduced funds will be transferred to Roskosmos, another 6 billion rubles to the Ministry of Defense for the state program "Space Activity of Russia".At the same time, expenditures on other measures of the Federal Program for the Development of Glonass will be increased by 7.05 billion rubles. A part of this money will be used to create an "insurance reserve of the electronic component base of foreign production, including for the manufacture of 11 Glonass-K2 spacecraft".“The program of replenishment and modernization of the orbital grouping is preserved. There is an internal redistribution of funds for domestic development work with a view to import substitution,” commented RBC in the office of Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov.The Glonass-K2 satellites are a modified version of the third-generation Glonass-K devices (the first generation is Glonass, the second generation is Glonass-M).The development strategy of this satellite network envisages that the last Glonass-M satellite will be launched in 2020, the last Glonass-K satellite in 2023. In the orbital grouping, there are now two Glonass-K satellites, the launch of the third is postponed due to the lack of components.Components for "Glonass" came under the sanctions of the European Union and the United States as parts for dual-use systems, since "Glonass" can be used for military purposes.In the summer of 2018, the Interfax source in the rocket and space industry said that when creating new Glonass-K satellites, problems arose when importing electronic components. In the Glonass-M satellites there were 75-80% of Western components.

Outside, the Glonass-M satellite from the ground reserve will replace the long-lived spacecraft in orbit. The GLONASS orbital group will be updated by the next Glonass-M satellite. It will replace the spacecraft in orbit, which has served almost twice as much as the stipulated term - about thirteen years instead of seven......When Glonass-M leaves the ground reserve, two more brothers will remain in custody at ISS. In the meantime, the company continues to work on the GLONASS-K and GLONASS-K2 devices. Their launches are also just around the corner.

Tell us which satellites will join the GLONASS constellation in the near future?- This year, our enterprise will complete the manufacture of three Glonass-K spacecraft, but their launch will be carried out only when necessary. Let me explain: 23 devices are currently operating in the GLONASS system, covering all the needs of customers. In addition, one device "Glonass-K" is in flight tests and will enter service in a few months. Accordingly, the need to launch a new satellite will come only after the failure of one of the spacecraft operating in space. This is the "operational necessity".Among the plans for the next year we have the launch of the first device "Glonass-K2". We are continuously working on preparing it for launch, but unfortunately, questions arose about the work of onboard mathematics. For development work on a new satellite, this is a common situation that cannot be predicted in any way. Unlike the Glonass-K satellites and the Glonass-M devices of the previous generation, the new Glonass-K2 is a multifunctional device, so it becomes necessary to adjust the work of internal mathematics with all systems. The more instruments, the more combinations you need to work out. The device itself is assembled, we will withstand the obligations for its manufacture by the end of the year. Earlier it was reported that the cost of new satellites "Glonass-K2" will be twice as high as that of their predecessors - "Glonass-K". Why is that? Is it connected with the installation of additional equipment on the satellite, the import substitution program?- There is a complex of reasons. First, the first Glonass-K2 are being assembled on a foreign component base. The dollar has doubled. The cost of import-independent devices, which will go from 2026, in turn, requires redesign work. Secondly, Glonass-K2 differs from its predecessors in the presence of additional equipment. He is even physically one and a half times heavier. Thirdly, the prices for components have increased. Take the deflator 5% per year and multiply it by 10 years that have passed since the launch of the first Glonass-K. Just by multiplying the deflator, you will already get a twofold increase. That is, the doubling that has taken place is an absolutely natural process.- The last GLONASS satellite of the previous generation, Glonass-M, has not been launched into orbit, which this year is ending its ground storage period.- We have extended the storage period until the end of this year and will extend, if necessary, until the middle of next. Considering that our similar devices are guaranteed to work for one and a half terms, we are absolutely sure that this device will also work after the launch of the warranty period of seven years.- Has the work begun on the creation of satellites for the highly elliptical segment of GLONASS?- The creation of the segment is included in the GLONASS subprogram of the Space Activities of Russia until 2030 program. A contract is being prepared, tactical and technical requirements for the system and spacecraft are being written. We expect that funding for the work will begin this year.- Do you plan to carry out any work on the Small GLONASS project, small and cheap navigation satellites?- In the previously announced subprogram, research work on the creation of a platform for a small navigation apparatus is spelled out. Work on this topic also begins this year.
From the interview with Nikolay Testoedov from ISS Reshetnev at RIA Novosti.https://ria.ru/20211008/testoedov-1753516458.htmlGoogle translate:Quote<snip>Among the plans for the next year we have the launch of the first device "Glonass-K2". We are continuously working on preparing it for launch, but unfortunately, questions arose about the work of onboard mathematics. For development work on a new satellite, this is a common situation that cannot be predicted in any way. Unlike the Glonass-K satellites and the Glonass-M devices of the previous generation, the new Glonass-K2 is a multifunctional device, so it becomes necessary to adjust the work of internal mathematics with all systems. The more instruments, the more combinations you need to work out. The device itself is assembled, we will withstand the obligations for its manufacture by the end of the year. <snip>

So no need for new satellites in the constellation? Only 23 satellites in operation, one too few.

Only 23 satellites in operation, one too few.Maybe Mr. Testoedov is counting the Glonass-K undergoing continuing tests as number 24? Assuming all will go well with said tests?It's probably a more palatable statement from him for internal consumption, than to say "We're one short, and a few more are marginal at best."

Not the first attempt.When the young 753 collapsed on slot 11, it became 705 redirected there. Glonass no.11 is not usable since 11 months.My opinion:So you would have had to launch another satellite (Glonass-M 61L / 761), perhaps between slot 10 and 11 and put it into operation there as number 11. There are 2 free channels so it does not disturb the other satellites.If Glonass-K 705 is ready one day, it will take over number 11. Glonass-M 761 would be moved to slot 10 and will finally replace 723.The fact that Glonass-M 61L is held on the ground instead can only mean that Glonass-K 705 and thus its successors are still not ready for use. Software?The only ready-to-use replacement satellite should still be saved.
https://ria.ru/20211220/glonass-1764483094.htmlThe current plan is to launch the first Glonass-K2 satellite in the second quarter of 2022 followed by the second Glonass-K2 satellite in the following quarter. It was also added that the final Glonass-M satellite currently in reserve will most likely be launched in the first quarter.
MOSCOW, 30 June. /TASS/. Roskosmos plans to send a new generation navigation satellite into orbit in August this year. This was reported to Russian President Vladimir Putin by the head of Roscosmos Yuri Borisov on Friday."We support the GLONASS constellation, which gives the appropriate accuracy. In August, our plans are to launch a new generation device, Glonass-K2," Borisov said.
What is the difference between Glonass-K and Glonass-K2?

Glonass-M 721 (plane 2, launched Christmas 2007) has been under maintenance since July 30th.It is transmitting again, but currently only the L1 signal.We will see whether it can be put back into operation without L2.If not, a replacement will have to be launched.Also only the L1 signal is transmitted by 721's sister satellite 723 and the 733 (2009) in plane 1 and the 732 (2010) in plane 3.
