GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is Russia's satellite navigation system, similar to the American GPS. It uses a network of satellites orbiting Earth to provide precise location and time information to users around the world. GLONASS is operated by the Russian government and is particularly important for military applications, as well as civilian uses like navigation for vehicles and smartphones. With full global coverage, it enhances accuracy in positioning, making it essential for various industries, including transportation, agriculture, and telecommunications. GLONASS ensures that users can determine their location anywhere on the planet, regardless of weather conditions.
