1981-049A
Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite 05 (GOES E) was launched by Delta 3914 from Cape Canaveral LC17A at 2229 on 1981 May 22. At 2252 the Star 37E third stage left GOES 5 in a 192 x 49768 km x 26.6 deg transfer orbit. The next day the TE-M-616 apogee motor circularized the orbit to 33840 x 49667 km x 0 deg. GOES 5 reached geostationary orbit at 85 deg W on Jun 5 for checkout, and was then moved to the GOES E position, replacing SMS 2 on Aug 5. The VAS failed on 1984 Jul 29 but GOES 5 was kept at the GOES E position for data relay work with the DCS.
