Kosmos 2485 (Russian: Космос 2485 meaning Space 2485) is a Russian military satellite launched in 2013 as part of the GLONASS satellite navigation system.

This satellite is a GLONASS-M satellite, also known as Uragan-M, and is numbered Uragan-M No. 747.[1]

Kosmos 2485 was launched from Site 43/4 at Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia. A Soyuz-2-1b carrier rocket with a Fregat upper stage was used to perform the launch which took place at 05:23 UTC on 26 April 2013. The launch successfully placed the satellite into Medium Earth orbit. It subsequently received its Kosmos designation, and the international designator 2013-019A. The United States Space Command assigned it the Satellite Catalog Number 39155.[1]

The satellite is in orbital plane 1, in orbital slot 2.[4]
