Summary
Ekran-M 4 launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton-M Briz-M from 81/24 (81P), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on April 7, 2001. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 82nd launch, 1st this year and humanity's 4,465th orbital launch attempt. It was the 1st Proton-M Briz-M flight. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). Ekran-M, one of 3 catalogued objects, reached a 35,147 × 36,516 km orbit inclined 0.4°. 3 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
