Intelsat 201

  1966-096A


The first Hughes Intelsat II (HS-303) was launched in Oct 1966. After a successful flight to geostationary transfer orbit aboard a Delta, an underburn by the Aerojet SVM-1 apogee motor due to cold nozzle temperatures stranded Intelsat II F-1 in a low orbit. The burn lasted only 4.5s instead of the planned 17s. The satellite was used for engineering tests for several months.
