A satellite to study angular distribution of charged particles in the earth’s magnetic field was put into polar orbit from Vandenberg AFB on 22 April. The orbit is highly elliptical, having an apogee of about 6000 km and a perigee of about 400 km. The satellite was put up by the Air Force, and the experiments belong to the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories.
