Hakucho

 1979-014A

---

The second ISAS X-ray astronomy satellite, CORSA-b, was launched in Feb 1979. The satellite was renamed Hakucho (`Cygnus'). It was 97 kg in mass, and 0.66m long, 0.82m diameter.

The craft was spin stabilized with a 12s period. By 1983 it was dormant, and it was finally abandoned in 1985.

The M-3C-4 rocket used the M-3A₂ model third stage.

SPADES

 1968-059A

---

The OV1-15 satellite was also named SPADES, or Solar Perturbations Of Atmospheric Density Experiment Satellite. The satellite was spin-stabilized and used an accelerometer to study drag.

On this launch, for the first time, the spacecraft drifted down from Atlas apogee and were inserted into a low perigee orbit [197]. The TLEs indicates the two satellites were coincident in location at 160 km altitude around 1944 UTC, 14 min after launch which would be the normal apogee time for an OV1 launch. This is surprising as one would expect the 500-1000 km Atlas apogee to be at around that time, with the insertion delayed a further 10 minutes. A reasonable solution is a pre injection orbit of -2300 x 450 km with the OV1s burning at about 45 deg to the horizontal.

Surveyor M-3

 1966-095A

The Surveyor Mass Model 3 mission carried a simple mass model of the Surveyor probe aboard Centaur AC-9 for a demonstration of a two-burn Centaur lunar injection mission. Launch was at 1112:02 on 1966 Oct 26 from Cape Kennedy. Atlas SECO was early. After Atlas separation the Centaur, with two RL10YA3-3 engines, made its first burn for 340.5 seconds, 10s longer than planned, entering a 166 x 166 km parking orbit at 1124. The second Centaur burn was at 1148 UT for 106.3 seconds and left SM3 and Centaur AC-9 in a highly elliptical, 166 x 406200 km orbit. The SM3 instrumentation transmitted for 20 hours.

Launch azimuth was 99.7 SM-3 was 726 kg.

Pioneer 4

   1959-013A

---

The second JPL/ABMA probe, Pioneer IV, again nominally a NASA launch, was launched by Juno II at 0510:56 on 1959 Mar 3. The Jupiter cut off at 0512 and separated 5s later. The Jupiter guidance section remained attached to the Cluster (JPL Cluster 12). Next the nose fairing was separated, and then the Stage 2 fired, separating from the Cluster rotational launcher fixed to the Jupiter guidance section. The remaining stages fired in quick succession, and separated from the payload. The payload was then despun from 416 revs per min to 11 rpm using release masses on wires. Low performance resulted in missing the Moon, but achieving solar orbit. At 2224 on Mar 4 Pioneer IV passed the Moon at a distance of 60600 km and sailed on into solar orbit.

The final stage (motor serial TC-25) and the despin weights also entered solar orbit. It stopped transmitting after 82h, at around 1500 on Mar 6, at a range of 669000 km. It reached perihelion on Mar 17 and aphelion on Oct 1.

Echo 2

  1964-004A

---

The A-12 payload, Echo II after launch, was launched at 1359:04 on 1964 Jan 25. Unlike the earlier Echo flights, this one used a Thor Agena B launch vehicle and went to a polar orbit from the West Coast. Orbit was achieved at 1448:52, a little low because one fairing half failed to separate until parking orbit. At 1454 the balloon was ejected from its canister and inflation began. The inflation was partially successful. The balloon was used for communications experiments from 1964-65, and for geodetic experiments until its reentry at around 1815 on 1969 Jun 7, over Okhotsk, Siberia. Like Echo I, this satellite's only active payload was the pair of battery powered 107 MHz radio beacons, 25cm discs on opposite poles of the sphere.

The Agena carried a camera to monitor the deployment.

Corona 45

  1962-027

---

The seventh MURAL mission saw the introduction of the Agena D upper stage, destined to be one of the most successful rockets in the early history of space exploration. The satellite carried a battery of scientific experiments for FISHBOWL studies in addition to the CORONA payload. Targets included the Baikonur cosmodrome. The SRV was recovered after 4 days, but the film suffered from corona static and the index camera did not work due to light leaks and overexposure.

NOAA B

 1980-043A

---

NOAA B was launched at 1053 on 1980 May 29 by an Atlas F from SLC3W at Vandenberg. The Atlas booster engine thrust was too low, and the Atlas main engine sustainer burned for an extra 54s in an attempt to compensate. However at 1100 the Atlas separated prematurely from the NOAA satellite - but since it was still thrusting the NOAA remained attached! At 1103 the Star 37S motor fired but attitude control propellant was almost depleted and the orbit acheived was 102.1 min, 264 x 1445 x 92.2 deg, far from the desired circular sun-synchronous orbit. On May 30 NOAA B was powered down and decommissioned; it reentered on 1981 May 3.

KH-8 29 (GAMBIT 4329) was launched on 1970 Oct 23 by Titan IIIB Agena D from Vandenberg on a 19 day flight. Its mission probably included imaging of missile silos for the R-36 (SS-9) missile. Major orbit raising burns were carried out on Oct 24 and around Nov 5.

Explorer 39

 1968-066A

---

The AD-C (Air Density Explorer C, Explorer XXXIX) satellite was launched from Vandenberg on 1968 Aug 8. The Scout delivered it into a 670 x 2538 km x 80.7 deg orbit, together with Explorer XL. Explorer XXXIX's beacon transmitted until 1971 Jun; it was reactivated on 1976 Feb 20. The satellite reentered on 1981 Jun 22.

The Injun satellite had a mass of 63 kg not counting the ADE. The ADE hardware had a total mass of 16 kg, 9.4 kg of which was the 3.66-m dia balloon satellite, made of Al foil and polyethylene-terephthalate plastic film. Attached to the balloon surface was a battery unit, a solar cell package, and a transmitter. The Al foil sphere had a small 0.01m equatorial gap turning the Al into an antenna.

The AD deployer consists of a container, a spearation mechanism, ejection bellows and an inflation bottle, for a total mass of 7 kg; this remained with the Injun satellite, giving it an orbital mass of 70 kg.

The AD/Injun pair was launched near solar max, to complement the earlier IQSY mission.

The Scout E-section payload adapter had a mass of 4.5 kg.

Debris detected in orbit had a slower decay rate than the balloon, and may be associated with Injun. Debris cataloged starting in 1994 was at an altitude consistent with some of the rest of the debris, suggesting that it separated from Injun in the 1960s or 1970s.

Discoverer 13

  1960-008

---

A Discoverer diagnostic mission was launched on 1960 Aug 10 by Thor Agena A from Vandenberg. It carried a five-channel FM/FM telemetry system to transmit separation, reentry and recovery operations data, an 8W transmitter instead of the usual 1.2W one, and a continuous-tape recorder to play back data after ionization blackout. The capsule had a VHF beacon, and the thrust cone had an S-band beacon to aid in determining reentry trajectory. On Aug 11, the SRV was successfully recovered from the Pacific Ocean at 161.57W 25.6N and returned to Washington in triumph.
