Summary
US-KMO 7 launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton K/DM-2 from 81/24 (81P), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on June 26, 2008. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 134th launch, 4th this year and humanity's 4,918th orbital launch attempt. It was the 108th Proton K/DM-2 flight and the 1st this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). Kosmos-2440, one of 6 catalogued objects, reached a 256 × 35,875 km orbit inclined 49.1°. 6 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
