Navstar 8

 1983-072A


Navstar 8 was launched by Atlas E from Vandenberg on 1983 Jul 14. Twin Star 48 solid motors made up the SGS II (Space Guidance System) upper stage which placed SVN 8 in transfer orbit; the usual Star 27 motor circularized the orbit. Navstar 8 replaced Navstar 1; in 1990 it was moved from C-2 to C-3; it was replaced in 1993 by Navstar 31.
