Summary
Luch 5A & Amos-5 launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton-M Briz-M Enhanced from 81/24 (81P), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on December 11, 2011. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 157th launch, 4th this year and humanity's 5,183rd orbital launch attempt. It was the 25th Proton-M Briz-M Enhanced flight and the 7th this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO). Amos 5, one of 4 catalogued objects, reached a 333 × 4,896 km orbit inclined 50.3°. 4 objects from this launch are catalogued, 2 of them payloads.
