Summary
Yamal-101 & 102 launched on a Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center Proton-K/DM-2M from 81/23 (81L), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on September 6, 1999. It was Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's 65th launch, 7th this year and humanity's 4,338th orbital launch attempt. It was the 17th Proton-K/DM-2M flight and the 5th this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO). Yamal-101, one of 8 catalogued objects, reached a 205 × 36,317 km orbit inclined 49.3°. 8 objects from this launch are catalogued, 2 of them payloads.
