Description : Transit 4B was a US Navy navigation satellite launched by a Thor Able Star rocket. It carried a SNAP 3 nuclear power source. Transit, one of the first operational satellite systems, was also known as the Navy Navigation Satellite (NNS).
Individual Transit satellites operated for over 10 years.
The use of the satellites for navigation was discontinued at the end of 1996 but the satellites continued transmitting and became the Navy Ionospheric Monitoring System (NIMS).
