Summary
Gorizont 26 launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton K/DM-2 from 81/23 (81L), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on July 14, 1992. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 3rd launch, 3rd this year and humanity's 3,732nd orbital launch attempt. It was the 57th Proton K/DM-2 flight and the 3rd this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). Gorizont, one of 6 catalogued objects, reached a 36,487 × 36,650 km orbit inclined 1.6°. 6 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
