Смысл: The main idea is to debunk the cynical internet meme about GLONASS failures by presenting objective statistics that prove the Russian space program maintains a high volume of successful launches compared to the rest of the world.
The author uses 2010 global launch statistics to argue that critics of the GLONASS project ignore massive successes in favor of sarcastic jokes about 'underwater satellites.'
Смысл: The main idea is to provide a nuanced look at the Russian space program's performance by comparing it through different metrics (launch count, payload mass, and peer-group comparison) to avoid the 'lies' of simple statistics.
Russia is vastly outperformed by the US and China in space launches and payload mass, but remains ahead of European and Japanese capabilities.
Смысл: The text discusses the failure of a 2010 GLONASS satellite launch, using it as a case study to criticize the systemic inefficiencies and lack of quality control in the Russian space program compared to the American GPS system.
Three GLONASS satellites were lost in 2010 due to a fuel overfill error caused by poor documentation control during a Proton-M rocket launch.
