Abstract The first American satellite, Explorer 1, was built by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, and launched from Canaveral on 31 January 1958 by a modified Jupiter-C missile into an orbit ranging between 354 kilometres and 2,515 kilometres at an angle of 33 degrees to the equator. The scientific payload was integrated into the solid-propellant rocket that formed the fourth stage, with the overall package being 203 centimetres in length and 15 centimetres in diameter, with a mass of 14 kilograms.1 Its main instrument was provided by James van Allen of the University of Iowa, and was designed to measure the radiation environment in space. Although the satellite is famous for having revealed that the Earth possesses a belt of trapped charged particles, it is not so well known that it suffered an attitude failure.
