Launch: 15 June 1988 at 11h16 UTC, from Kourou Space Center's ELA-2, by an Ariane 44LP (V22).
Orbit: A high-altitude, elliptical, synchronous-transfer, Molniya, inclined at 57.4°
Decayed: 5 December 1996
Mission: AMSAT-OSCAR 13 is the third in a series of Phase-3 type high-altitude, elliptical orbit amateur communications satellites. It was built by an international team of radio amateurs led by AMSAT-Germany. It carried four beacon transmitters and four linear transponders, as well as a digital communications transponder called RUDAK-1. However attempts to get the experiment operating failed. AO-13 was launched  by the first test flight of the Ariane 4 launcher from Kourou, French Guiana. It weights 92 kg plus 50 kg fuel and its size is : 600 x 40 x 200 mm.
      Operational life span was 8 years.  Careful analysis of AO-13's orbit in early 1990 revealed that resonant perturbations exist which lead the satellite into a negative perigee altitude. The perigee was down to 150 km by August 1996 which drastically increased atmospheric drag on the satellite until it reentered the Earth's atmosphere in December 1996.
