Mission Profile: The Proton launch vehicle will inject the
satellite into geosynchronous transfer
orbit, using a five-burn Breeze M mission
design. The first three stages of the
Proton will use a standard ascent
trajectory to place the Breeze M fourth
stage, with the satellite, into a
suborbital trajectory, from which the
Breeze M will place itself and the
spacecraft into a circular parking orbit
of 173 km (107.5 miles), inclined at 51.5
degrees. Then the satellite will be
propelled to its transfer orbit by
additional burns of the Breeze M.
Following separation from the Breeze M,
the spacecraft will perform a series of
liquid apogee engine burns to raise
perigee, lower inclination and
circularize the orbit at geostationary
altitude.
Target Orbit Apogee: 35,786 km (22,236 miles)
at Separation: Perigee: 4,090 km (2,541 miles)
Inclination: 23.6 degrees
Spacecraft Separation: Approximately 9 hours, 10 minutes after
liftoff
ILS Mission Statistics: -- 6th ILS mission this year
-- 2nd ILS Proton mission this year
-- 29th ILS mission on Proton
-- 307th Proton mission overall
