Summary
Gorizont 28 launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton K/DM-2 from 81/23 (81L), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on October 28, 1993. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 13th launch, 5th this year and humanity's 3,858th orbital launch attempt. It was the 67th Proton K/DM-2 flight and the 5th this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). Gorizont, one of 6 catalogued objects, reached a 35,761 × 35,797 km orbit inclined 1.5°. 6 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
