COSMOS 2484 is a Russian military satellite deployed in nearly circular orbit with altitude of about 1500 km, inclination of 82.5 degrees, and orbital period of about 116 minutes. This is a Rodnik-S/14F132 satellite. Rodnik is a successor of Strela-3 communication satellites (sometimes referred to as Strela-3M).

Russia did not identify the payloads on the launch, but the rocket's target orbit indicated the mission carried a trio of Rodnik satellites designed to relay messages between military users posted in remote areas.
