Summary
Compass-IGSO-1 launched on a China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation Long March 3A from Launch Complex 3 (LC-3/LA-1), Xichang Satellite Launch Center, People's Republic of China on July 31, 2010 at 21:30 UTC. It was China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation's 72nd launch, 5th this year and humanity's 5,070th orbital launch attempt. It was the 17th Long March 3A flight and the 1st this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO). Beidou DW 5, one of 2 catalogued objects, reached a 225 × 35,868 km orbit inclined 55.2°. 2 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
