The third satellite is expected in position early in February and to be delared healthy about 1 week afterwards. The 2 healthy satellites are in almanac slots 7 & 8 using channels 7 & 8 respectively. The third satellite will take up position in slot 1 and use channel 2. All participants in the IGEX experiment will welcome the addition of 3 new GLONASS satellites and, I'm sure, would wish to congratulate the Russian team responsible for GLONASS.
