Summary
Elektro-L No.3 launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton-M Blok DM-03 from 81/24 (81P), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on December 24, 2019. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 184th launch, 4th this year and humanity's 5,920th orbital launch attempt. It was the 5th Proton-M Blok DM-03 flight and the 2nd this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO). Elektro-L No. 3, one of 5 catalogued objects, reached a 35,365 × 35,519 km orbit inclined 0.6°. 5 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
