1962-S14
The AVT-1 launch used a DSV-2D Thor to launch an A-12 balloon on a suborbital mission. Flight Canister 5 was originally planned for the mission, but after a launch scrub on Jan 11 Flight Canister 6 was used.
The canister was an oblate spheroid 1.1m dia 0.64m high containing a 41m diameter balloon. A camera and recovery capsule were attached to the Thor forward adapter.
