Summary
Gorizont 6 launched on a Soviet Space Program Proton-K/DM from 200/40, Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on October 20, 1982. It was Soviet Space Program's 1,644th launch, 93rd this year and humanity's 2,626th orbital launch attempt. It was the 33rd Proton-K/DM flight and the 6th this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). The tracked orbit of Gorizont, one of 6 catalogued objects, from November 1, 1982, was 35,753 × 35,830 km inclined 0.8°. 6 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
