1968-081A
OV2-5 was launched on flight P67-2 of the Space Test Program. The OV2-5 satellite was intended to carry out the ORBIS HIGH ionospheric beacon experiment, but the satellite apparently malfunctioned. The SSD-651, SSD-602 and SSD-606 returned good data; SSD-605 and SSD-607 failed. It appears that the magnetometer booms did not deploy correctly.
Total Titan 3C payload was 531 kg.
