Summary
COSMOS 2436 [GLONASS-M], also known as Kosmos-2436, is a Russian navigation satellite launched on December 25, 2007, from the Tyuratam Space Center (TYMSC) using the Proton-M/DM-2 launch vehicle. It uses the Uragan bus with a configuration of a 3-Axis stabilized Uragan-M design. The satellite measures approximately 4 meters in length and 1.5 meters in diameter, with a span of 7.8 meters due to its solar arrays. It has a dry mass of 1200 kg and was launched at a mass of 1450 kg. Its mission is for navigation purposes, powered by two deployable solar arrays and batteries. The satellite's shape consists of a cylinder with antennas and two panels, and it has an RCS (reaction control system) value of 5.0238. It was manufactured by RESH and owned by KVR/IACG. Its intended operational lifetime is 7 years.
