Summary
Gorizont 25 launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton K/DM-2 from 81/23 (81L), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on April 2, 1992. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 2nd launch, 2nd this year and humanity's 3,706th orbital launch attempt. It was the 56th Proton K/DM-2 flight and the 2nd this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). Gorizont, one of 6 catalogued objects, reached a 35,577 × 35,691 km orbit inclined 1.5°. 6 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
