Summary
Measat 3 launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton-M Briz-M from 200/39 (200L), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on December 11, 2006. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 122nd launch, 5th this year and humanity's 4,810th orbital launch attempt. It was the 13th Proton-M Briz-M flight and the 4th this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). Measat 3, one of 3 catalogued objects, reached a 424 × 35,814 km orbit inclined 49.1°. 3 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
