The Globus or Raduga-1 satellites are military commmunication satellites. They are improved versions of the Gran (Raduga) satellites.

The Globus satellites operate in the geostationary YeSSS-2 Unified Satellite Communication System. The communication payload consists of "Tor" C-band transponders for communication with fixed and mobile platforms.

Raduga-1 8 was retired in 2015 and was moved into a graveyard orbit above the geostationary belt.
