Cosmos 2456, launched in 2009, is a GLONASS-M satellite from the later phase of Russia's satellite navigation reconstruction. By this point in the program, GLONASS had recovered enough operational satellites to provide continuous coverage across Russian territory, with global coverage the explicit next milestone — a remarkable turnaround from the system's near-total collapse to six functioning satellites less than a decade earlier.
