TRW's Lightsat facility at Chantilly, Virginia built STEP Mission 4 (P95-A). for the STP Office at the USAF Space and Missile Systems Center. Launch is mid 1997 by Pegasus XL into a 400 km orbit, with onboard propulsion raising the orbit to 600 km. The mission carries STP experiments for studying the atmosphere and ionosphere.
After a perfect launch by the Pegasus the satellite failed to deploy its solar panels or communicate with the ground. The satellite transmitted for a week before falling silent.
Size is 1.52m x 0.91m. Mass is 403 kg.
