Umthombo embonini yamarokhethi nesikhala, ngokusho kweRIA Novosti, uqambe usuku lokwethulwa okuhleliwe kwesathelayithi entsha yohlelo lokuzulazula lwe-GLONASS lwaseRussia.
Sikhuluma ngesathelayithi elandelayo ye-Glonass-M, ezongena esikhundleni sesathelayithi efanayo ehlulekile ekupheleni konyaka odlule.
Ekuqaleni, ukwethulwa kwedivayisi entsha ye-Glonass-M ku-orbit kwakuhlelelwe le nyanga. Nokho, uhlelo kwadingeka lubuyekezwe ngenxa I-satellite yezokuxhumana "Meridian-M". Masikhumbule ukuthi inkinga yavela ngemishini kagesi yemoto yokuqalisa i-Soyuz-2.1a.
Futhi manje sekunqunyiwe usuku olusha lokwethulwa kwerokhethi ngesathelayithi ye-Glonass-M. "Ukwethulwa kwemoto yokwethulwa kweSoyuz-2.1b enesiteji esiphezulu seFregat kanye nesathelayithi yeGlonass-M kuhlelelwe uMashi 16," kusho abantu abazisiwe.
Kumele kuqashelwe ukuthi manje ama-satellite amaningi ohlelo lwe-GLONASS asebenza ngaphezu kwesikhathi sewaranti. Ngakho-ke, ukuqoqwa kudinga isibuyekezo esibanzi. Kulindeleke ukuthi ngo-2025 cishe amasathelayithi e-GLONASS acishe abe ngamashumi amathathu.
Ake sengeze ukuthi iqembu le-GLONASS manje lihlanganisa amadivayisi angu-28, kodwa angu-23 kuphela asetshenziselwa injongo yawo. Amasathelayithi amathathu akhishiwe ukuze alungiswe, kanti enye isendaweni yokulondoloza i-orbital futhi isesigabeni sokuhlolwa kwendiza.
