Summary
Ekspress AM-11 launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton-K/DM-2M from 200/39 (200L), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on April 26, 2004. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 105th launch, 3rd this year and humanity's 4,654th orbital launch attempt. It was the 38th Proton-K/DM-2M flight and the 1st this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). Ekspress AM-11, one of 6 catalogued objects, reached a 336 × 35,738 km orbit inclined 47.5°. 6 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
