A Soyuz rocket successfully launched a Glonass navigation satellite Monday. The Soyuz-2.1b rocket lifted off from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia at 2:28 pm EDT (1828 GMT) and deployed the satellite, Cosmos 2545, into a medium Earth orbit several hours later. The satellite will help maintain global coverage for the navigation system.
