Uragan-GVM is a mass model of the Uragan (GLONASS) navigation satellite.
These mass models weres subsitituted for real Uragan satellites on the first few test launches to allow the triple launch system to be used and tested, while only one or two real satellite were on board of the Proton-K Blok-DM-2 launch vehicle. The Uragan-GVM mass models were placed into the same orbit as the operational Uragan satellites.
The first two launches carried only one Uragan satellite and two Uragan-GVM mass models. On next six launches were two Uragan satellites and one Uragan-GVM mass model.
