A derivative of the Thor Delta , it was a member of the Delta rocket family Delta family of rockets. The first stage was a PGM 17 Thor Thor missile in the DM 21 configuration, and the second stage was the Delta D rocket stage Delta D , which was derived from the earlier Delta rocket stage Delta . An Altair rocket stage Altair solid rocket motor was used as a third stage. All nine launches occurred from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex 17 Launch Complex 17 . Most of the launches carried communications satellites , including Syncom Syncom 1 and Syncom Syncom 2 . Syncom 1 was intended to be the first satellite to be placed into a geosynchronous orbit , however the spacecraft malfunctioned prior to reaching this orbit. Syncom 2 subsequently became the first geosynchronous satellite, and was placed at 55th meridian west 55 west of the Greenwich Meridian . The final launch failed due to third stage underperformance, all other launches were successful.

It was derived from the Delta C , and was a member of the Delta rocket family Delta family of rockets. The three stage core vehicle was essentially the same as the Delta C. The first stage was a PGM 17 Thor Thor missile in the Thor DSV 2 DSV 2A configuration, and the second stage was the Delta D rocket stage Delta D , which was derived from the earlier Delta rocket stage Delta . An Altair rocket stage Altair 2 SRM was used as a third stage.

For the educationalist, see Harold Rosen educationalist . Harold A. Rosen born 1926 in New Orleans, Louisiana is an electrical engineer , known as the father of the geostationary satellite . He formed and led the team that designed and built the first geosynchronous communications satellite , Syncom , for Hughes Aircraft Company. Rosen graduated from Tulane University in 1947 with a Bachelor of Engineering degree in electrical engineering. He received his Master of Science M.S. and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the California Institute of Technology in 1948 and 1951, respectively. Rosen received the IEEE Alexander Graham Bell Medal in 1982, and the Charles Stark Draper Prize in 1995. He was also one of the first recipients of the National Medal of Technology , in 1985. In 2003, he was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame . During the 1990s, Rosen Motors , founded by Rosen and his brother Ben, developed a gas turbine powered Hybrid vehicle drivetrain Series hybrid series hybrid automotive powertrain using a 55,000 rpm flywheel energy storage subsystem to provide bursts of acceleration which the small gas turbine engine could not provide. The flywheel also stored energy through regenerative braking . The flywheel was composed of a titanium hub with a carbon fiber cylinder and was gimbal mounted to minimize adverse gyroscopic effects on vehicle handling. The prototype vehicle was successfully road tested in 1997 but was never mass produced. ref name Wakefield cite book title History of the Electric Automobile Hybrid Electric Vehicles last Wakefield first Ernest year 1998 publisher SAE isbn 0768001250 pages 332 ref Dr. Rosen now consults for Boeing in the design of new satellite systems.
