Polar Orbital Satellite
Launched by Midway Yorktown 2
Date: 1952-03-29
Destination: Low earth orbit
Result: Mission Failure
The angle of the probe when the final stage was fired was too high off the horizon and we missed orbit with an Ap 2380 km x Pe 135km. However, we made 10 orbits of Earth before burning up and returned a lot of science.
