Notes

* Experimental payload (DASS).

  1. The DASS S-band constellation is not planned to be declared as operational, but its data may be used operationally.
  2. Not equipped with a SAR repeater, but used for the return link service.
  3. See https://www.gsc-europa.eu/system-service-status/sar-information for more information on the satellite navigation messages.
  4. Only the E1 navigation signal with dummy navigation message. Satellite orbit data are provided by GSC ground server.
  5. 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.
