The RCA-F/Delta launchThe Delta 3924 launch vehicle configuration which incorporates the extended long tank Thor booster, nine Castor 4 strap-on motors, the AJ-118 second stage and the TE 364-4 third stage is to place into a synchronous transfer orbit, the second in a series of high-traffic capacity, 24 transponder communications satellites. Three days after launch, the satellite's apogee kick motor circularizes the orbit at geosynchronous altitude of 19,300 NM above the equator at approximately 128 degrees W longitude. The satellite can service commercial and government voice, digital and video communications requirements between Alaska and CONUS. The communications payload, mission requirements and spacecraft systems and subsystems are described.
