Summary
US-KMO 4 launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton K/DM-2 from 200/39 (200L), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on April 29, 1998. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 53rd launch, 2nd this year and humanity's 4,233rd orbital launch attempt. It was the 91st Proton K/DM-2 flight and the 1st this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). Kosmos-2350, one of 6 catalogued objects, reached a 221 × 35,983 km orbit inclined 49.2°. 6 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
