Proton-M ready for launch
March 25 at 16.10.32 GMT on launch pad area 200 Baikonur launch took place of a space rocket Proton-M with the upper block (RB), the Briz-M, designed for launching into orbit communications spacecraft (SC) Intelsat-22.
Intelsat 22 launched successfully
In accordance with the flight cyclogram head unit in the Republic of Belarus the Briz-M and SC Intelsat-22 cleanly separated from the third stage rocket. After that, the Republic of Belarus continued excretion of the target spacecraft into orbit.
Office of the spacecraft from the upper stage is scheduled for 7.40 Moscow time on March 26.

Mission Profile:
This is the first supersynchronous mission for ILS Proton. The Proton M launch vehicle, utilizing a 5-burn Breeze M mission design, will lift off from Pad 39 at Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, with the Intelsat 22 satellite on board. The first three stages of the Proton will use a standard ascent profile to place the orbital unit (Breeze M upper stage and the Intelsat 22 satellite) into a sub-orbital trajectory. From this point in the mission, the Breeze M will perform planned mission maneuvers to advance the orbital unit first to a circular parking orbit, then to an intermediate orbit, followed by a transfer orbit, and finally to a geostationary transfer orbit. Separation of the Intelsat 22 satellite is scheduled to occur approximately 15 hours, 30 minutes after liftoff.

Satellite Use:
As part of Intelsat’s 2012 fleet replacement and expansion plans, Intelsat 22 will carry two Ku-band mobility beams providing coverage of the Indian Ocean region, which will blanket busy maritime and aeronautical routes. From its position at 72 degrees East, Intelsat 22 will have Ku-band capacity serving the Middle East and eastern Africa. Its C-band hemi beams coverage will provide connectivity to and from most of Europe, Africa, the Middle East and eastern Asia.
It also carries an Ultra-High Frequency hosted payload that will be used by the Australian Defence Force. The satellite is the first to utilize Boeing’s new 702MP platform.
