About COSMOS 2381 (GLONASS)

COSMOS 2381 (GLONASS) is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Dec 1, 2001 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 676 minutes (2.1 times a day), between 19,011 and 19,248 km up, on an orbit tilted 64.2° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 64° north and south.

The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.

Orbit height over the past year

Over the last 16 days its lowest point went from 19,012 km to 19,011 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
