Model of a GLONASS satellite
Global navigation. Model of a GLONASS satellite. The Russian GLObal Navigation Satellite System constellation uses 24 satellites in low earth orbit. These are used to provide accurate position data in the same way as the American GPS network and European Galileo system. Each has an atomic clock on board and emits time signals. Receivers compare the time signals from several satellites, from which they can calculate their relative position with the accuracy of a few metres

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a meticulously crafted model of a GLONASS satellite, representing the remarkable Russian GLObal Navigation Satellite System. Comprising 24 satellites gracefully orbiting our planet in low earth orbit, this constellation plays an integral role in providing precise positioning data akin to its American GPS and European Galileo counterparts. Each GLONASS satellite boasts an atomic clock onboard, emitting invaluable time signals that serve as beacons for accurate navigation. By comparing these time signals from multiple satellites, receivers are empowered to calculate their relative position with astonishing accuracy within just a few meters. The significance of this technological marvel lies not only in its intricate design but also in its practical application. With the ability to determine location on a global scale, the GLONASS system revolutionizes navigation by enabling individuals and industries alike to traverse our vast world with confidence and precision. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring model captured by Science Photo Library, let us appreciate the immense scientific endeavor behind it. This image serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of innovation and exploration—unveiling new frontiers while unraveling the mysteries of space.
