Kosmos 2460 (Russian: Космос 2460 meaning Cosmos 2460) is one of a set of three Russian military satellites launched in 2010 as part of the GLONASS satellite navigation system. It was launched with Kosmos 2459 and Kosmos 2461

This satellite is a GLONASS-M satellite, also known as Uragan-M, and is numbered Uragan-M No. 732.[1][4]

Kosmos 2459/60/61 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 21:19 UTC on 1 March 2010. The launch successfully placed the satellites into Medium Earth orbit. It subsequently received its Kosmos designation, and the international designator 2010-007C. The United States Space Command assigned it the Satellite Catalog Number 36402.[1][4]

It is in the third orbital plane of the GLONASS constellation, in orbital slot 23. It started operations on 28 March 2010.[5][6]
