Summary
Kazsat launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton-K/DM-2M from 200/39 (200L), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on June 17, 2006. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 119th launch, 2nd this year and humanity's 4,774th orbital launch attempt. It was the 41st Proton-K/DM-2M flight and the 1st this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). Kazsat, one of 8 catalogued objects, reached a 220 × 35,790 km orbit inclined 51.5°. 8 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
