Associated space launch

American communications satellite scheduled to operate in GEO, but was left stranded in a too low transfer orbit due to a launch vehicle failure. It was sold to the US Department of Defense and operated from geosynchronous orbit.

AMC-14 was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Proton-M Briz-M | AMC 14’, on board a Proton-M Briz-M space rocket.

The launch took place on March 14, 2008, 11:18 p.m. from 200/39 (200L).
