Summary
Ekran-M 3 launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton K/DM-2 from 81/23 (81L), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on October 30, 1992. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 6th launch, 6th this year and humanity's 3,764th orbital launch attempt. It was the 60th Proton K/DM-2 flight and the 6th this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). Ekran-M, one of 6 catalogued objects, reached a 35,583 × 35,699 km orbit inclined 1.6°. 6 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
