FORTE
1997-047A
FORTE (Fast On Orbit Recording of Transient Events) is a LANL/Sandia project to detect and characterize radio frequency impulses such as EMP from lightning and the noise from continuous artificial transmissions. A principal goal of the project is to understand the relationship between optical lightning flashes and VHF radio emissions from lightning.

Kosmos 482
1972-023A
The V-72 No. 671 probe was the last of the original design. It was launched on 1972 Mar 31, but the Blok-L final stage cut off early due to a timer failure, and the probe was stranded in an elliptical Earth orbit instead of being injected into solar orbit. It was given the cover name of Kosmos-482.
