Summary
Gorizont 33 launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton-K/Briz-M from 81/24 (81P), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on June 6, 2000. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 71st launch, 4th this year and humanity's 4,398th orbital launch attempt. It was the 2nd Proton-K/Briz-M flight and the 1st this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). Gorizont, one of 3 catalogued objects, reached a 376 × 35,002 km orbit inclined 48.8°. 3 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
