Lockheed Martin | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
June 10, 1992, midnight
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
Intelsat K, Intelsats first Ku-band only satellite, was originally built as Satcom K4 for GE Americom, but was acquired in 1989 and required extensive payload modifications. It is a single spacecraft purchased to meet critical requirements for Ku-band capacity over the Atlantic region, driven primarily by international broadcasters.
Geostationary OrbitDelta 6920-10 | EUVE
McDonnell Douglas | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
June 7, 1992, 4:40 p.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
The Extreme-Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) was a spinning spacecraft designed to rotate about the earth/sun line. EUVE was a part of NASA's Explorer spacecraft series, and designed to operate in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) range of the spectrum, from 70 - 760 Angstroms. This spacecraft's objective was to carry out a full-sky survey, and subsequently, a deep-survey and pointed observations. Science objectives included discovering and studying UV sources radiating in this spectral region, and analyzing effects of the interstellar medium on the radiation from these sources.
