Summary
Nimiq 5 launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton-M Briz-M Enhanced from 200/39 (200L), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on September 17, 2009. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 146th launch, 6th this year and humanity's 5,007th orbital launch attempt. It was the 8th Proton-M Briz-M Enhanced flight and the 5th this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). Nimiq 5, one of 3 catalogued objects, reached a 346 × 21,085 km orbit inclined 49.4°. 3 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
