Explorer 5
1958-F11
The last US Army Explorer, a joint ABMA/ARPA project, was launched by Jupiter C (Juno I) from Cape Canaveral on 1958 Aug 24. A few minutes after launch, the booster collided with the JPL Cluster upper stages and the payload failed to reach orbit. The cluster was pitched 23 deg down instead of 8 deg at stage 2 ignition, and yawed 40 deg in the wrong direction. Explorer V transmitted successfully during its 10 minute flight. It had been intended to study natural and Argus-induced radiation. The planned orbit had been 282 x 2936 km x 50.8 deg.
