Kosmos 2418 ({{langx|ru|Космос 2418}} meaning Cosmos 2418) is one of a set of three Russian military satellites launched in 2005 as part of the GLONASS satellite navigation system. It was launched with Kosmos 2417 and Kosmos 2419.
This satellite is a GLONASS-M satellite, also known as Uragan-M. It was assigned GLONASS-M №13L number by the manufacturer{{cite web|url=http://www.iki.rssi.ru/earth/pres2006/tatevian2.pdf |title=Спутниковая система ГЛОНАСС – основа единой системы координатно–временного обеспечения Российской Федерации|language=ru|trans-title= GLONASS is the foundation of timing and location needs of Russian Federation|format=PDF|page=11|publisher=Space Research Institute|date=14 November 2006|access-date=14 February 2019}} and 713 by the Ground Control.{{cite web |url=http://glonass-svoevp.ru/DATA/Documents/History_GLO.pdf|title=ИСТОРИЯ СОСТОЯНИЯ ОРБИТАЛЬНОЙ ГРУППИРОВКИ ГЛОНАСС|language=ru|trans-title=History of GLONASS constellation|format=PDF|page=11 |publisher=glonass-svoevp.ru|date=8 July 2015|access-date=14 February 2019}}
Kosmos 2417 / 2418 / 2419 were launched from Site 81/24 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 05:07 UTC on 25 December 2005. The launch successfully placed the satellites into Medium Earth orbit. It subsequently received its Kosmos designation, and the International Designator 2005-050B. The United States Space Command assigned it the Satellite Catalog Number 28916.
It was the third orbital plane in orbital slot 24. It is no longer in the GLONASS constellation.
