When Western Union returned to Hughes Aircraft Company in 1980 for a second generation of Westar satellites, it selected spacecraft having twice the capacity of their predecessors.
Hughes’ Space and Communications Group built three Hughes HS-376 model satellites, designated Westar 4, 5, and 6, for Western Union Telegraph Company. These new spacecraft stand 21.6 feet tall in operation and carry 24 C-band transponders, each of which can accommodate 2400 telephone calls or one color TV channel.
Westars 4 and 5 were launched on McDonnell Douglas Delta boosters from Cape Canaveral, Fla. Keyword(s) : #Aerial, #Satellite, #Telecommunications, This is OUTSIDE of a Space Revue. Last modified: 06/04/2015 @ 11h13
