Summary
PAS 5 launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton-K/DM-2M from 81/23 (81L), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on August 28, 1997. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 47th launch, 5th this year and humanity's 4,166th orbital launch attempt. It was the 6th Proton-K/DM-2M flight and the 2nd this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). PAS 5, one of 4 catalogued objects, reached a 222 × 36,025 km orbit inclined 51.6°. 4 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
