A high traffic capacity, 24 transponder communicates satellite, RCA E, is scheduled to be launched on a Delta 3924 launch vehicle. The vehicle configuration places the spacecraft in a synchronous transfer orbit. Three days after launch, the spacecraft apogee kick motor will be fired at transfer orbit to circularize its orbit at geosynchronous altitude of 19,300 NM above the equator at approximately 128 degrees W longitude where it will service commercial and government voice digital, and video communications requirements between Alaska and CONUS.
