Summary
Ekspress-AM5 launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton-M Briz-M from 81/24 (81P), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on December 26, 2013. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 164th launch, 4th this year and humanity's 5,348th orbital launch attempt. It was the 38th Proton-M Briz-M flight and the 9th this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO). Ekspress AM-5, one of 3 catalogued objects, reached a 270 × 5,000 km orbit inclined 50.6°. 3 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
