Summary
Gorizont 5 launched on a Soviet Space Program Proton-K/DM from 200/39 (200L), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on March 15, 1982. It was Soviet Space Program's 1,567th launch, 16th this year and humanity's 2,538th orbital launch attempt. It was the 29th Proton-K/DM flight and the 2nd this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). The tracked orbit of Gorizont, one of 7 catalogued objects, from March 18, 1982, was 36,284 × 36,360 km inclined 0.8°. 7 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
