OV1-86
Orbiting Vehicle 1-86 (also known as OV1-86 ) was a satellite launched 27 July 1967 to measure the temperature radiation properties of different types of terrain. Part of the Orbiting Vehicle#OV1, OV1 series of USAF satellites, using standardized designs and sent to orbit on decommissioned SM-65 Atlas, Atlas ICBMs to reduce development and launching costs, OV1-86 was launched with two other satellites in the series, OV1-11 and OV1-12, in the first triple launch of the program. It was the only OV1 satellite to be cobbled together from two of its sister satellites, utilizing the unused body on OV1-8 and the unused propulsion module on OV1-6. OV1-86's was only partially successful due to the failure of its Vertistat gravity-gradient stabilization system. The satellite reentered the Earth's atmosphere on 22 February 1972. History The Orbiting Vehicle satellite program arose from a US Air Force initiative, begun in the early 1960s, to reduce the expense of space research. Through this ...
