R24 is the third satellite of the most recent triple launch and the fourth GLONASS-M satellite in space, respectively. See also: http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/mail/igsmail/2006/msg00043.html Together with the new R24, the old R23 (793) GLONASS satellite did appear with reassigned slot number R20. R20 frequency channel is 11 (the same as it was with the previous slot number R23). The new R24 and the reassigned R20 are already included in the GNSS POD process at CODE. Starting with our today's ultra-rapid submissions, the CODE GNSS orbit products include 44 satellites (29 GPS plus 15 GLONASS). Currently, 15 of 16 GLONASS satellites considered available are active: R01 (796) R02 (794) R03 (789) R04 (795) R05 (711) R06 (701) R07 (712) R08 (797) R17 (787) R19 (798) R20 (793) R21 (792) R22 (791) R23 (714) R24 (713) Inactive: R18 (783) R18 may be expected to become decommissioned from active service.
