NASA launched FltSatCom-D into a synchronous transfer orbit from Launch Complex 36, ETR, on an Atlas Centaur at 10:54 p.m. EST. An apogee kick motor fired November 1 at fifth apogee put it (as FltSatCom 4) into the desired synchronous orbit [see October 20]. Spacecraft systems were turned on and operated normally. (NASA MOR M-491-202-80-04 [postlaunch] Nov 21180)
