Summary
Yamal-402 launched on an International Launch Services Proton-M Briz-M Enhanced from 200/39 (200L), Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on December 8, 2012. The mission was a partial failure: The Breeze-M upper stage shutdown several minutes early leaving the payload in an lower than intended orbit. It was International Launch Services's 22nd launch, 8th this year and humanity's 5,263rd orbital launch attempt. It was the 33rd Proton-M Briz-M Enhanced flight and the 8th this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO). 3 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.

About this launch
Yamal-402 is a Thales Alenia Space Ku-band communications satellite for Gazprom Space Systems. A premature Briz-M shutdown left it short of the planned orbit, and it reached geostationary orbit using its own propellant at the cost of service life.
