Summary
Angara A5 maiden flight (IPM-1 mass simulator) launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Angara A5/Briz-M from 35/1, Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation on December 23, 2014. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 172nd launch, 8th this year and humanity's 5,437th orbital launch attempt. It was the 1st Angara A5/Briz-M flight. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). GVM 5A4PP No. 85501, one of 2 catalogued objects, reached a 452 × 35,804 km orbit inclined 60.6°. 2 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.

About this launch
The first flight of the heavy Angara A5 carried a 2-tonne mass simulator that stayed attached to the Briz-M upper stage; over a nine-hour mission the stage raised it to geostationary altitude, demonstrating the rocket's full performance.
