Russia launches final satellites for its own GPS

Russia has launched the final three satellites needed to complete it’s own GPS system known as GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System).

The military-run GLONASS mapping system works over most of Russia and is expected to cover the globe by the end of 2009, once all its 24 navigational satellites are operating.

Officials said GLONASS would mainly be used alongside the U.S. global positioning system, which Washington can switch off for civilian subscribers, as it did during recent military operations in Iraq.
