Associated space launch

The Parcae satellites were passive ELINT satellites. MSD satellites were dispensers of triplets of ocean surveillance satellites.

SS 1 was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Atlas F/MSD | Parcae 2A,B,C & MSD 2’, on board a Atlas F/MSD space rocket.

The launch took place on Dec. 8, 1977, 5:45 p.m. from Space Launch Complex 3W.
