Summary
Integral launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton-K/17S40 from 200/39 (200L), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on October 17, 2002. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 93rd launch, 6th this year and humanity's 4,561st orbital launch attempt. It was the 6th Proton-K/17S40 flight and the 2nd this year. The payload was bound for Elliptical Orbit (Elliptical). Integral, one of 8 catalogued objects, reached a 856 × 151,628 km orbit inclined 51.7°. 8 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
