Launch site	Cape Canaveral LC36
Type	1
Payload mass	~3000 kg
Payload	A: UHF 1

The Atlas lost some power during the booster burn, and the Centaur had to burn longer to make up and get into parking orbit. As a result, the second Centaur burn to transfer orbit ran out of fuel during the burn. The payload satellite was left in a 219 x 9158 km x 27.3 deg orbit.

This was the third failure of the Atlas 1 class rocket in the last 4 launches!
