Summary
CRRES launched on a General Dynamics Atlas I from Launch Complex 36B, Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA on July 25, 1990. It was General Dynamics's 1st launch, 1st this year and humanity's 3,544th orbital launch attempt. It was the 1st Atlas I flight. The payload was bound for Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GSTO). CRRES, one of 25 catalogued objects, reached a 339 × 33,613 km orbit inclined 18.1°. 25 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
