It was launched with Kosmos 2447 and Kosmos 2449.
This satellite is a GLONASS-M satellite, also known as Uragan-M, and is numbered Uragan-M No. 728.
Kosmos 2447/8/9 were launched from Site 81/24 at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. A Proton-M carrier rocket with a Blok DM upper stage was used to perform the launch which took place at 10:43 UTC on 25 December 2008. The launch successfully placed the satellites into Medium Earth orbit. It subsequently received its Kosmos designation, and the international designator 2008-067C. The United States Space Command assigned it the Satellite Catalog Number 33468.
It is currently part of the GLONASS constellation in the first orbital plane, orbital slot 2. It started operation on 20 January 2009.
