Summary
Rimsat G1 launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton K/DM-2 from 81/23 (81L), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on November 18, 1993. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 14th launch, 6th this year and humanity's 3,861st orbital launch attempt. It was the 68th Proton K/DM-2 flight and the 6th this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). Rimsat G1, one of 6 catalogued objects, reached a 35,046 × 35,106 km orbit inclined 1.5°. 6 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.

About this launch
The geostationary Gorizont satellites are part of the Russian YeSSS Unified Satellite Communication System. These satellites provided civilian and military telephone, telegraph, and facsimile communications services, in addition to relaying TV and radio broadcasts. Gorizont also supported maritime and international communications from 1988 as an element of the Okean system operating at 1.5 to 1.6 GHz. The Gorizont system occupies 10 position on the geostationary orbit.
