MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 27th May, 2019) Russian GLONASS-M navigation satellite was launched on Monday from the Russian Plesetsk Cosmodrome atop a Soyuz-2.1b carrier rocket, the Russian Defense Ministry told reporters.
"On Monday, May 27, at 9.23 a.m. Moscow time [06:23 GMT], the operational crew of the [Russian] Aerospace Forces' Space Forces launched successfully a Soyuz-2.1b middle-class carrier rocket with a GLONASS-M navigation satellite from the fourth launcher of the State Test Cosmodrome Plesetsk (Arkhangelsk Oblast)," the Russian Defense Ministry said.
All the prelaunch operations, as well as the launch itself, were carried out in a normal mode.

The GLONASS constellation comprises 26 satellites, including 24 operational devices.
