EGRS 5 (Secor 5) was launched for the US Army Corp of Engineers and US Army Map Command. It was a secondary payload on the test launch of the Scout B from Wallops Island.

SECOR 5 was built by the US Army Engineer, Geodesy, Intel and Mapping Research and Development Agency, Ft Belvoir, VA, and Cubic Corp. The satellite, Type I S/N 2, was a 20-inch sphere similar to the NRL series. It was left at an excessive spin rate but was used until Mar 1966.
