Meteosat 3

 1988-051A

---

The second prototype Meteosat (Meteosat P2) was launched on the first Ariane 4 test flight and named Meteosat 3 on reaching orbit. It was operated by EUMETSAT, although the program was managed by ESA. Meteosat 3 also carried the LASSO clock synchonization experiment. It used a laser retroreflector to allow accurate synchronization signals between different sites with atomic clocks.

Kosmos 93

 1965-084A

---

The first DS-U2 satellite was DS-U2-V No. 1, or Kosmos-93. (V= vibratsionniy).

It was launched in Oct 1965 on the first flight of the modified 63S1M launch vehicle. A picture identified as Kosmos-93 is in the Glushko encyclopedia, and showed it as a fairly standard DS ellipsoid with a small experiment boom and no obvious solar panels. This does not match more recently released sketches.

DS-U2-V carried a payload to study the vibration (microgravity) environment of the satellite as well as the ionosphere. The DS-U2 bus was 1.5 x 0.8m, with 2.4 x 2.3m across the panels and antennae. Mass of DS-U2-V was 240 kg.

Saturn SA-4

  1963-S121

---

The final Block I launch, now named Saturn I rather than Saturn C-1, was at 2011 on 1963 Mar 28. Once more the upper stages were dummies, although the Saturn S-IV-4 was a more faithful aerodynamic replica of the real thing. Apogee was 129 km.
