Summary
Tselina-2 2 launched on a Soviet Space Program Proton K/DM-2 from 200/40, Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on May 30, 1985. It was Soviet Space Program's 1,890th launch, 34th this year and humanity's 2,947th orbital launch attempt. It was the 8th Proton K/DM-2 flight and the 2nd this year. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). The tracked orbit of Kosmos-1656, one of 11 catalogued objects, from June 5, 1985, was 814 × 868 km inclined 71.1°. 11 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
