Kosmos 2433 (Russian: Космос 2433 meaning Cosmos 2433) is one of a set of three Russian military satellites launched in 2007 as part of the GLONASS satellite navigation system. It was launched with Kosmos 2431 and Kosmos 2432.
This satellite is a GLONASS-M satellite, also known as Uragan-M, and is numbered Uragan-M No. 720.[1]
Kosmos 2431 / 2432 / 2433 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 07:35 UTC on 26 October 2007. The launch successfully placed the satellites into Medium Earth orbit. It subsequently received its Kosmos designation, and the International Designator 2007-052A. The United States Space Command assigned it the Satellite Catalog Number 32275.[1]
It is part of the GLONASS constellation, in the third plane, orbital slot 19. It started operation on 25 November 2007.[4]·[5]
