Summary
Uragan 57 to 59 launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton K/DM-2 from 81/23 (81L), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on August 11, 1994. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 21st launch, 7th this year and humanity's 3,921st orbital launch attempt. It was the 74th Proton K/DM-2 flight and the 6th this year. The payload was bound for Medium Earth Orbit (MEO). Kosmos-2287, one of 8 catalogued objects, reached a 19,145 × 19,166 km orbit inclined 64.9°. 8 objects from this launch are catalogued, 3 of them payloads.
