DescriptionSTS-61-B SATCOM Ku-2 deployment.jpg	English: Deployment of the Satcom Ku-2 satellite on STS-61-B. The 4,144 pound RCA Satcom K-2 communications satellite is deployed from the cargo bay of the Shuttle Atlantis during the STS 61-B mission. The closed cradle of the Morelos communications satellite is seen just below it. In this photograph the SATCOM KU-2 satellite attached to a Payload Assist Module-D (PAM-D) is being released from the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle Orbiter Atlantis during STS-61B, the 23rd Shuttle Mission. The PAM-D is an upper stage system used to deploy payloads to a required orbit unattainable by the spacecraft. SATCOM KU-2 is an RCA communication satellite and was launched on November 26, 1985.
