Samos 2

 1961-001B

---

SAMOS 2 (Agena 2102), in January 1961, was one of the few successful missions, but its photos were disappointing. Orbit mass of SAMOS and Agena totalled 1915 kg. SAMOS 2 was part of the Program 101 series. The third Program 101 satellite, Agena 2103, was used mainly for engine static firings.

The satellite was another combined E-1/F-1 payload. The E-1 payload was mounted underneath F-1 and had a small field of view while F-1 obstructed it. F-1 was ejected to improve the field of view: this may have caused loss of contact with the vehicle.

OSO 2

  1965-007A

---

The S-017 payload, OSO B, was damaged in an accident on 1964 Apr 14 when the Altair X-248A6 third stage ignited during a ground test and the vehicle launched itself to the building ceiling. Unlike the later X-258, the X-248 igniter was sensitive to electrostatic potentials generated by normal activity in the clean room. There were three fatalities.

Parts from OSO B were combined with an engineering prototype to create OSO B2, which was launched at 1636 on 1965 Feb 3 by a Delta C from Cape Canaveral. 12 minutes later, Orbiting Solar Observatory 2 was in a 96.40 min, 550 x 634 km x 32.9 deg orbit. It transmitted regularly until 1965 Nov and was used occasionally until mid 1966.

The second Ekran (Ekran No. 12L) was launched on 1977 Sep 20 by Proton-K from Baykonur. The spacecraft was stationed at 99E but on 1978 Jun 23 its nickel-hydrogen battery exploded, distributing numerous fragments in the geostationary ring. The spacecraft was able to operate through 1980 via its solar panels and backup battery.

Luna-11 was a modified lunar satellite, designated E-6LF No. 101. The E-6LF probes were larger than Luna-10 and the instrument section did not separate from the DU. It was intended for lunar photography, but the attitude control failed after orbit insertion and the images were of deep space instead of the Moon.
