Thrust-Augmented Thor-Agena D Launch Vehicle
Thrust-Augmented Thor-Agena D combined a standard Thor with three solid strap-on motors and the standardized Agena D upper stage. NASA used it for OGO 2, PAGEOS 1, and OGO 4, while military variants supported numerous polar-orbit payloads. Agena D provided a controlled standard configuration with restartable propulsion and solid-state avionics.
