Russian GLONASS twice surpass performance accuracy GPS – PiterBurger.ru

Roscosmos said that in the near future to press the GLONASS GPS, since the new system of Russian developers gives a more accurate location of the object. By year-end precision figures obtained by means of the GLONASS-M – will be close to 1.4 meters.

For more GLONASS-M satellites by Russian developers will be able to show more accurate data than their rival GPS. The old version of GLONASS shows the location of the object up to 2.7 meters, the new GLONASS-M will show up to 1.4 meters.

But even if such data to the GPS system GLONASS is still far away. However, the Russian developers are planning to increase their performance by almost five times over the next five years. Roskosmos already said that the future accuracy is reached before 50-80sm. True to see this device in the work it will be no earlier than 2020.

In the meantime, planned replacement of old GLONASS satellites, probes for new GLONASS-M, but it will not happen before the end of the year. The new devices will help improve the accuracy of location not only for peaceful purposes, but also for the Defense Ministry.

Did the Russian Space Agency hopes for new GLONASS is not yet known, because the American developers are not sitting idle, and in five years performance GPS can also change significantly.
