The final IMP satellite was IMP J (Interplanetary Monitoring Platform J), which became Interplanetary Monitoring Platform 8 (Explorer 50) after launch. Launch was at 0226:02 on 1973 Oct 26, by Delta 1604 from Cape Kennedy. The Star 37E separated at 0238 and left the IMP in a 197 x 228809 km x 28.8 deg. The TE-M-521 (Star 17A) motor fired at the first apogee, at 0600 on Oct 29, but did not provide as much thrust as planned, and IMP 8 entered a 141185 x 288857 km x 28.7 deg orbit. It was still operating in 1998, with special measures taken to process its VHF telemetry after the STDN tracking network was closed down.

Another 26m shroud Titan Centaur was launched on Jul 10. This one went to a high inclination orbit, and is assumed to be in the same series as USA 103. The satellite is referred to as HEO 95-034 in space physics publications.
