About COSMOS 2109 (GLONASS)
COSMOS 2109 (GLONASS) is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Dec 8, 1990 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.
It circles Earth every 676 minutes (2.1 times a day), between 18,929 and 19,331 km up, on an orbit tilted 65.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 65° north and south.
The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.
