HS-376
The Boeing 376 (sometimes referred to as the BSS-376, and previously as the HS-376) is a communications satellite bus introduced in 1978 by Hughes Space and Communications Company. It was a spin-stabilized bus that the manufacturer falsely claims was the first standardized platform. The Lockheed "Standard Agena" had been in use for more than two decades when the first HS-376 was launched.
