Summary
Olymp-K launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton-M Briz-M from 81/24 (81P), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on September 27, 2014. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 169th launch, 5th this year and humanity's 5,409th orbital launch attempt. It was the 43rd Proton-M Briz-M flight and the 5th this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO). Luch, one of 4 catalogued objects, reached a 506 × 35,691 km orbit inclined 46.3°. 4 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
