In Volume A of this report the mission of the Department of Defense Gravity Experiment (DODGE) satellite program is defined, the design of each of the satellite systems is briefly described, and the performance of each of the systems from the time the satellite was launched into orbit on 1 July 1967 to 1 October 1968 is described in detail. The systems include attitude control, attitude detection, electric power, telemetry, command, thermal control, and doppler tracking. It also includes ground station operations. The report summarizes the magnetic field measurements made to date and the performance of the satellite's attitude control systems. It presents conclusions on the attitude performance and on how well the objectives of the mission were met. (Author)
