Summary
Interbol-1 launched on a Progress Rocket Space Center Molniya-M 2BL from 43/3 (43L), Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation on August 2, 1995. It was Progress Rocket Space Center's 21st launch, 2nd this year and humanity's 4,004th orbital launch attempt. It was the 247th Molniya-M 2BL flight and the 2nd this year. The payload was bound for Elliptical Orbit (Elliptical). Interbol-1, one of 6 catalogued objects, reached a 517 × 192,154 km orbit inclined 63.8°. 6 objects from this launch are catalogued, 2 of them payloads.

About this launch
The Interball Project is a multi-national effort that consists of four spacecraft: two main spacecraft of the Prognoz series, made in Russia, each with a small subsatellite (Magion) made in Czechoslovakia. The main objective is to study the physical mechanisms responsible for the transmission of solar wind energy to the magnetosphere, its storage there, and subsequent dissipation in the tail and auroral regions of the magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere during magnetospheric substorms.
