Associated space launch
The Transit-O series of satellites that closely followed the design of Transit 5C-1 were also called “Oscars” (Oscar is the phonetic alphabet for “O”, i. e., operational). They were also called NNS (Navy Navigation Satellite) or shortened NavSat.
THOR ABLESTAR DEB was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Thor DM-21 Ablestar | Transit-O 4’, on board a Thor DM-21 Ablestar space rocket.
The launch took place on June 24, 1965, 10:35 p.m. from Space Launch Complex 2E.
