Cosmos 2514, launched in 2016, is a GLONASS-M satellite maintaining Russia's restored global navigation constellation nearly three decades after the system's original Soviet-era design. Each new GLONASS-M launch has followed the same basic recovery pattern established in the 2000s: replace an aging satellite before it fails, keeping the constellation continuously above the minimum operational threshold. Each new GLONASS-M launch through the 2010s functioned as quiet insurance against ever repeating the system's 1990s near-collapse, when years without replacement launches let the constellation decay almost to the point of complete failure.
