The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has just two minutes each day, until mid-August, to attempt to launch the unmanned Delta rocket with the spacecraft. Several GOES satellites failed prematurely in the early 1980s, and the agency lost one satellite in 1986 when a Delta rocket carrying the instrument to orbit suffered mechanical problems during liftoff and was subsequently destroyed. Initially operated by GTE Spacenet, a VSAT services company acquired by GE AMERICOM in 1994, Spacenet-4 was launched on a Delta rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida in April 1991. |
