{description}   A three hundred eighty five pound geodetic Explorer spacecraft,
                designated GEOS-A, was launched from Pad 17-A atop a thrust
                augmented improved Delta, at 1:38 PM EST today. The spacecraft
                contains five geodetic instrumentation systems to provide
                simultaneous measurements that scientists require to establish a
                more precise model of the Earth's gravitational field, and to map
                a world coordinate system relating points on, or near the surface
                to the common center of mass. This will be the first launch for
                the improved Delta second stage.
