Kosmos 2394 (Russian: Космос 2394 meaning Cosmos 2394) is one of a set of three Russian military satellites launched in 2002 as part of the GLONASS satellite navigation system. It was launched with Kosmos 2395 and Kosmos 2396.[3]

This satellite is a GLONASS satellite, also known as Uragan, and is numbered Uragan No. 791.[1]

Kosmos 2394/5/6 were launched from Site 81/23 at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. A Proton-K carrier rocket with a Blok DM upper stage was used to perform the launch which took place at 07:37 UTC on 25 December 2002. The launch successfully placed the satellites into Medium Earth orbit. It subsequently received its Kosmos designation, and the international designator 2002-060A. The United States Space Command assigned it the Satellite Catalog Number 27617.[1]

It was in the third orbital plane in orbital slot 22. It is no longer part of the GLONASS constellation.[4][5]
