GLOBUS - The Soviet Mechanical "SPACE GPS" Before digital computers took over, Soviet spacecraft used something extraordinary: a fully mechanical navigation computer called Globus. Installed in missions like Vostok and Soyuz, this device used a system of gears, cams, and rotating mechanisms to calculate the spacecraft's position in real time. As the capsule orbited Earth, Globus would continuously update-showing where the crew was above the planet. No screens. No software. Just pure engineering. By factoring in orbital motion, Earth's rotation, and time, the system could accurately track ground position and even help determine reentry timing and landing zones. It was reliable, self-contained, and didn't depend on external signals-making it perfect for the early space age. A reminder that long before digital navigation... spaceflight was powered by clockwork precision. 🌍 / 🌎 / 🌏

⬆️On 25 December, at 17:11, a combat crew of the Russian Aerospace Forces successfully launched a Soyuz-2.1a medium-class carrier rocket with spacecraft from the Russian Defence Ministry State Test Cosmodrome (Plesetsk Cosmodrome) in Arkhangelsk region.⬇️ ▫️ The Soyuz-2.1a launching and the removal of spacecraft into the calculated orbit were carried out in normal mode. After launch, the Soyuz-2.1a medium-class carrier rocket with spacecraft was accepted for escort by means of the ground-based automated control system of the Main Test and Space Systems Control Center n.a. German Stepanovich Titov. ⏱ At the estimated time, the spacecraft were put into target orbits and taken to manage by the ground-based systems of the Russian Aerospace Forces. 🔌 The spacecraft is in stable communication with the ground, and its onboard systems are functioning as normally.

🇷🇺 Launch of Soyuz-2.1b carrier rocket from Plesetsk Cosmodrome ▫️ On 13 September 2025, a combat crew of the Russian Aerospace Forces launched the Soyuz-2.1b medium-size carrier rocket with a spacecraft in the interests of the Russian Ministry of Defense and the Mozhayets-6 training and research spacecraft developed by the Military-Space Academy named after Mozhaysky and development of astronavigation algorithms. ❗️ The launch of the carrier missile into the calculated orbit proceeded as planned. The ground-based automated control systems of the Titov Main Test and Space Systems Control Centre began monitoring the Soyuz-2.1b medium-class carrier missile after the launch. ▫️ At the estimated time, space vehicles reached final orbits by the Fregat space tug and were taken over by ground-based assets of the Russian Aerospace Forces. ▫️ A stable telemetry link has been established and endorsed with spacecraft, its on-board systems are functioning properly. The spacecraft were assigned the serial numbers Kosmos-2595 and Kosmos-2596. ▫️After the spacecraft reached the orbit, the officers of the main centre for reconnaissance of situation in space put down the information on them into the main catalogue of space objects of the Russian outer space control system and began analyzing and processing information on new space objects.
