The INTELSAT-K communications satellite was successfully launched in June 1992 using an Atlas II-A launch vehicle. The launch campaign began about 1 year prior to delivery of the spacecraft and included launch site testing to verify spacecraft health, as well as preparation and loading of the spacecraft onto the launch vehicle. Details of launch site testing are discussed, and a comprehensive description is given of the Atlas II-A launch vehicle, including its flight performance until separation and injection of the spacecraft into transfer orbit.
