Associated space launch
RadCal (Radar Calibration) is small satellite to calibrate the Space Command radars to determine orbital positions of other satellites to within a few meters.
RADCAL was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Scout G-1 | RADCAL’, on board a Scout G-1 space rocket.
The launch took place on June 25, 1993, 11:30 p.m. from Space Launch Complex 5.
