1985-109D
RCA Americom's Satcom K series used the improved Series 4000 satellite. These Ku-band satellites supplemented RCA's earlier C-band fleet. They required the larger PAM D-2 upper stage to reach GTO. Satcom K-2 was launched first and stationed at 81W. They used the PAM-D2 stage originally designed for launching GPS satellites from the Shuttle.
