Cloud Cover Satellite flown in Vanguard vehicles SLV-3 and SLV-4 required spin rate of 55 rpm when entering orbit; although required spin-reduction mechanism functioned properly, desired spin rate was not achieved owing to uncontrollable flight effects; to meet future requirements control system is needed which can orient payload according to predetermined scheme and maintain it for desired period.
