NASA Javelin sounding rocket launched from Ft. Churchill carried Rice Univ.-instrumented payload to 467-mi (752-km) altitude to measure ratio of fluxes of auroral zone precipitated protons, and alpha particles, fluxes and spectra of low energy protons and electrons, and energy spectrum of protons with energies of 100 to 500 kev. Rocket and instrumentation performed satisfactorily. (NASA Rpt SRL)
Feb. 15 launch of third satellite in ComSatCorp's INTELSAT II series was postponed by NASA until mid-March to study recent failure in a Scout launch vehicle's FW4S motor. INTELSAT II comsats were launched by Thrust-Augmented Improved Delta boosters which used motors similar to FW4S. (NASA Release 67-24)
