Summary
Dummy payload launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Angara A5/Briz-M from 35/1, Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation on December 14, 2020. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 186th launch, 2nd this year and humanity's 6,029th orbital launch attempt. It was the 2nd Angara A5/Briz-M flight and the 1st this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). GVM, one of 2 catalogued objects, reached a 1,338 × 1,349 km orbit inclined 66.0°. 2 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
