Presented in the post launch report no. 1, 2, and 3 for ATS-V (E) mission. Primary objectives was to conduct a carefully instrumented gravity gradient orientation experiment directed toward providing basic design information. In the experiment, gravity gradient techniques was employed as a means of spacecraft orientation at synchronous altitude to determine the feasibility and usefulness of gravity gradient as a means of stabilizing synchronous orbit applications satellites in the presence of perturbing effects generated within the satellite or caused by the environment. Results of the ATS-V (E) mission: Based upon a review of the performance of the ATS-V (E) mission, launched 12 August 1969, this mission is adjudged to be unsuccessful because failure of the spacecraft to properly despin prevented achievement of the primary objective stated.
