Význam hodnot: Epocha - Datum (rok, měsíc, den), pro něž platí uvedené údaje. λ - Zeměpisná délka subsatelitního bodu ve stupních (kladná je východní délka, záporná je západní délka). Δλ - Denní změna polohy vzhledem k zemskému povrchu (změna zeměpisné délky subsatelitního bodu) ve stupních za den (kladná východním směrem, záporná západním směrem). i - Sklon dráhy k rovníku ve stupních.

Popis objektu

Stacionární telekomunikační družice. Postavila ji firma Hughes Space and Communications Co. (HSC, nyní Boeing Satellite Systems), Seal Beach, CA (USA) v závodech v El Segundo, CA (USA). Provozovatelem byla do roku 1989 firma Western Union Telegraph Co. (USA), poté firma Hughes Communications, Inc., Long Beach, CA (USA).

Rotací stabilizovaná družice typu HS-376 válcového tvaru o průměru 2.16 m a celkové výšce při startu 2.74 m, na dráze 6.58 m včetně anténního systému a vysunutého válcového panelu fotovoltaických baterií, má boční stěny pokryty fotovoltaickými články s celkovým příkonem 935 W na počátku života a dobíjejícími 2 NiCd akumulátorové baterie. Nese 24(+6) převaděčů pracujících v pásmu C (5.925-6.425/3.7-4.2 GHz, šířka pásma 24×36 MHz, výkon permaktronů 24×7.5 W, 34 dBW), schopných zabezpečit přenos 57 600 telefonních hovorů nebo 24 televizních pořadů. Slouží pro vnitrostátní spojení na území USA. Parabolická anténa o průměru 1.8 m je umístěna na stabilizované protirotující plošině. Pro korekce dráhy a úpravy osy rotace slouží 4 motorky na hydrazin (142 kg). Pro navedení na stacionární dráhu je vybavena motorem Thiokol Star 30 na TPL.

Hlavní pozemní řidicí středisko je v Glenwood, NJ (USA); další pozemní stanice se nacházejí u měst New York, NY; Chicago, IL; Atlanta, GA; Dallas, TX, Los Angeles, CA; San Fancisco, CA, Seattle, WA a Phoenix, AZ (USA). Od r. 1990 jsou družice řízeny z pozemních středisek ve Spring Creek, NY, Fillmore, CA a El Segundo, CA (USA).

Plánovaný bod zavěšení je nad 123° z.d. Předpokládaná aktivní životnost je 7 roků.

Předchozí družicí této řady je Westar 4 (1982-014A), další je Westar 6 (1984-011B).

Průběh letu

Datum	Událost
1982-06-09	V průběhu startu došlo k nepřesnostem ve funkci 1. a 3. st. rakety, které však neměly podstatný vliv na parametry přechodové dráhy.
1982-06-11	Apoogeovým motorem Star 30 naveden na předběžnou stacionární dráhu, po níž se pohyboval na určené místo nad 75° z.d., kde proběhly provozní zkoušky. Později byl přesunut na plánovaný bod zavěšení, kde nahradil Westar 2 (1974-075A).
1989	Počátkem roku odkoupena firmou Hughes Communications, Inc., Long Beach, CA (USA).
