This report was compiled from several different sources. Documents consulted included: Operations Summaries, post-launch Flash Flight Reports, Final Field Reports, Mission Operations Reports (both pre-launch and post-launch), and Satellite Situation Reports. Other major references were publications of the NASA Historical Office, such as: Aeronautics and Astronautics 1916-1960; Aeronautical and Astronautical Events of 1961-1962; Aeronautics and Astronautics (yearly editions since 1963); and NASA's Pocket Statistics (published monthly.) The report is divided into projects within broad mission categories, with each project being treated chronologically.
