Summary
Sentinel-5P launched on an Eurockot Launch Services Rokot/Briz-KM from 133/3 (133L), Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation on October 13, 2017. It was Eurockot Launch Services's 13th launch, 1st this year and humanity's 5,683rd orbital launch attempt. It was the 27th Rokot/Briz-KM flight and the 1st this year. The payload was bound for Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO). Sentinel-5P, one of 2 catalogued objects, reached a 421 × 773 km orbit inclined 98.7°. 2 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
