OGO 6

  1969-051A


The OGO F payload was launched at 1443 on 1969 Jun 5 by Thorad Agena D from Vandenberg and entered a 397 x 1089 km x 82.0 deg orbit. The 3-axis control failed on 1971 Jun 28 and the spacecraft was put on standby. It was turned on again from 1971 Oct 10 to 1972 Mar, and was finally decommissioned on 1972 Jul 14. It reentered on 1979 Oct 12.

ESSA 9

  1969-016A


TOS G was the last of the Tiros I class TOS satellites, launched to back up ESSA VII, one of whose cameras had failed. Because of scheduling conflicts at Vandenberg it was launched from Cape Kennedy using a three stage Delta E1, requiring three dog-leg maneuvers during ascent to the polar sun-synchronous 1427 x 1508 km x 101.8 deg orbit. Launch was at 0747 on 1969 Feb 26 from Launch Complex 17 at Cape Kennedy and injection was south of Panama. ESSA IX transmitted until 1973 Nov 15.
