Notes
* Experimental payload (DASS).
- The DASS S-band constellation is not planned to be declared as operational, but its data may be used operationally.
- Not equipped with a SAR repeater, but used for the return link service.
- See https://www.gsc-europa.eu/system-service-status/sar-information for more information on the satellite navigation messages.
- Only the E1 navigation signal with dummy navigation message. Satellite orbit data are provided by GSC ground server.
- Can be used for detection testing only. Glonass-K1 No.1 is not included in the Glonass navigation-satellite constellation and is not transmitting navigational signals nor ephemerides constantly.
