The Nicaraguan parliament ratified a treaty on space cooperation with Russia, which also authorizes the construction of ground-based stations for GLONASS, a global navigation satellite system designed to offer an alternative to the GPS.
Russia's GLONASS project was launched in late 1970s and now consists of 28 satellites, including 24 operational ones. A Russian counterpart to the US Global Positioning System, it fixes the location and speed of surface, sea and air objects to within an accuracy of one meter.
