The Launch of Gorizont 45 on the First Proton K/Breeze M

Abstract

On 6 June 2000 Russia launched Gorizont 45 using the newly developed Breeze M upper stage. It was the first non-historic deep space Russian launch in many years. However, International Launch Services published detailed description of the booster capabilities and launch scenarios. Pre-mission planning led to successful coverage of the rocket body and payload up to synchronous injection.
