Transit 5A-1

 1962-071A

---

VA-1 was the first operational prototype. It failed on the day of launch due to a problem with the command receiver. Mass was 59 kg. Octagon bus 0.45m dia 0.25m high with 5.5m span solar panels.

One newspaper report gave the time as 2126 UTC Dec 8 (1526 CST) and another gives 1726 PST (0126 UTC Dec 9). The Blue Scout Jr launch that day was 'later the same night' and 'within a few hours' thus probably between about 0300 UTC and 1400 UTC.

Alouette

 1962-049A

---

The first Canadian satellite was Alouette (`swallow'), an ionospheric topside sounder launched by Thor Agena B from pad 75-1-1 at Vandenberg in 1962. NASA provided the launch vehicle and the satellite had the NASA designation S-27.. The satellite used an ionospheric beacon to radio signals through the ionosphere to the ground, allowing observers to measure the density of the ionosphere. Two pairs of sounding antennae were deployed, one 46m span and the other 23m span. Alouette 1 was built by De Havilland Canada.

Ariel 4

  1971-109A

The UK Science Research Council managed the UK 4 ionospheric study satellite, named Ariel 4 after launch. Ariel 4's structure was similar to Ariel 3. The satellite was controlled from NASA's Winkfield ground station.
