Cosmos 2569 (GLONASS-K2 No. 13) made history on August 7, 2023 as the first satellite of an entirely new GLONASS generation — 70% heavier and carrying 170% more broadcasting power than the GLONASS-K satellites it succeeds. GLONASS-K2 finally gives Russia four simultaneous carrier signals in both the traditional FDMA format and the internationally compatible CDMA format, plus something none of its predecessors carried: a genuine search-and-rescue relay payload feeding into the international COSPAS-SARSAT system, letting a GLONASS-K2 satellite forward an emergency distress beacon signal the same way GPS and Galileo satellites already do.
