GLONASS: Art, Satellites & Other systems

The Global Navigation Satellite System (Russian: Глобальная навигационная спутниковая система, romanized: Global'naya Navigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema), usually referred to by the acronym GLONASS (ГЛОНАСС, IPA: ), is a Russian satellite navigation system operating as part of a radionavigation-satellite service. It provides an alternative to the…
