Summary
Granat launched on a Soviet Space Program Proton-K/D-1 from 200/40, Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on December 1, 1989. It was Soviet Space Program's 2,312th launch, 71st this year and humanity's 3,471st orbital launch attempt. It was the 12th Proton-K/D-1 flight and the 1st this year. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). The tracked orbit of Granat, one of 4 catalogued objects, from December 9, 1989, was 1,964 × 201,701 km inclined 52.1°. 4 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
