Summary
AngoSat-2 launched on a Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS) Proton-M Blok DM-03 from 81/24 (81P), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on October 12, 2022. It was Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS)'s 306th launch, 6th this year and humanity's 6,318th orbital launch attempt. It was the 6th Proton-M Blok DM-03 flight and the 1st this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). Angosat 2, one of 2 catalogued objects, reached a 241 × 36,208 km orbit inclined 48.9°. 2 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.

About this launch
The AngoSat 2 is a communications satellite built for Angola to replace the failed AngoSat 1. The Angosat Project calls for development of a communications satellite with C- and Ku-band transponders, its launch into a geostationary orbit and development of the ground communication and TV broadcasting infrastructure. In August 2019 it was revealed the replacement satellite is being built by ISS Reshetnev (Bus) and Airbus Defence & Space (payload). Construction has started in February 2018.
