Summary
3 x Glonass-M (Kosmos 2464, Kosmos 2465, Kosmos 2466) launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton-M DM-2 Enhanced from 81/24 (81P), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on September 2, 2010. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 152nd launch, 3rd this year and humanity's 5,075th orbital launch attempt. It was the 6th Proton-M DM-2 Enhanced flight and the 2nd this year. The payload was bound for Medium Earth Orbit (MEO). Kosmos-2464, one of 44 catalogued objects, reached a 19,133 × 19,162 km orbit inclined 64.8°. 44 objects from this launch are catalogued, 3 of them payloads.

About this launch
Glonass-M, also known as Uragan-M, are the second generation of Uragan satellite design used for GLONASS satellite navigation system. GLONASS is a Russian space-based navigation system comparable to the similar GPS and Galileo systems. This generation improves on accuracy, power consumption and design life. Each satellite weighs 1415 kg, is equipped with 12 L-band antennas, and has an operational lifetime of 7 years.
