Summary
Luch #3 launched on a Soviet Space Program Proton K/DM-2 from 200/39 (200L), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on December 27, 1989. It was Soviet Space Program's 2,316th launch, 75th this year and humanity's 3,476th orbital launch attempt. It was the 37th Proton K/DM-2 flight and the 9th this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). Kosmos-2054, one of 20 catalogued objects, reached a 36,380 × 36,516 km orbit inclined 1.5°. 20 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
