I could easily be wrong with this, but launches of the Cosmos-3M out of
Kap Yar have always used 50.7 deg inclinations, so I would expect that
this will be the inclination used for ABRIXAS. This will be the first
orbital attempt from Kap Yar since January 1987 when Cosmos 1815 was
placed into orbit.
