Summary

Anik F1R launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton-M Briz-M from 200/39 (200L), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on September 8, 2005. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 115th launch, 5th this year and humanity's 4,733rd orbital launch attempt. It was the 8th Proton-M Briz-M flight and the 3rd this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). Anik F1R, one of 3 catalogued objects, reached a 268 × 4,997 km orbit inclined 50.3°. 3 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.

About this launch

It carried a 24 C-band and 32 Ku-band transponders. Anik F1R has a design life of 15 years. In addition, a Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS-GEO 4) navigation package operating in C-band for uplink and L-band for downlink provides precision Global Positioning System-based guidance information to aircraft.
