Summary
Gorizont 32 launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton K/DM-2 from 200/39 (200L), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on May 25, 1996. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 39th launch, 5th this year and humanity's 4,077th orbital launch attempt. It was the 88th Proton K/DM-2 flight and the 3rd this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). The tracked orbit of Gorizont, one of 6 catalogued objects, from May 27, 1996, was 36,515 × 36,564 km inclined 1.5°. 6 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
