This satellite is a GLONASS-M satellite, also known as Uragan-M. It was assigned GLONASS-M №14L number by the manufacturer[4] and 714 by the Ground Control.[5]
Kosmos 2417 / 2418 / 2419 were launched from Site 81/24 at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. A Proton-K carrier rocket with a Blok DM upper stage was used to perform the launch which took place at 05:07 UTC on 25 December 2005. The launch successfully placed the satellites into Medium Earth orbit. It subsequently received its Kosmos designation, and the International Designator 2005-050A. The United States Space Command assigned it the Satellite Catalog Number 28915.[1]
It is in the third orbital plane in orbital slot 17. It is part of the orbital reserve. It started operation on 31 August 2006 and ended on 19 December 2011.[6][7]
