Gstar 3

 1988-081A

---

GTE Satellite Corp.'s Gstar 3 was almost lost during firing of the Star 30B apogee motor; 37 seconds into the burn, control was lost and between 47 and 55 seconds into the burn the spacecraft reversed direction completely. This left the payload in an orbit with perigee 20000 km lower than planned. Over the course of the next year, stationkeeping propellant was used to raise the orbit to geostationary; Gstar 3 was stationed at 93W, the location originally planned for Gstar 4.
