Summary
Araks-N 2 launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton-K/17S40 from 81/24 (81P), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on July 25, 2002. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 91st launch, 4th this year and humanity's 4,548th orbital launch attempt. It was the 5th Proton-K/17S40 flight and the 1st this year. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). Kosmos-2392, one of 69 catalogued objects, reached a 1,519 × 1,847 km orbit inclined 63.5°. 69 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.

About this launch
This was the second launch of the Arkon-1 electro-optical reconnaissance. The 17S40 Blok DM5 upper stage and satellite were placed by the Proton into a parking orbit. The DM then made two burns to place the satellite in its 1500 x 1836 km x 64.4 deg operational orbit.
