McDonnell Douglas | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
HEOS 1 (Highly Eccentric Orbit Satellite) was an earth-orbiting, spin-stabilized satellite that was launched by ESA. The spacecraft objectives were to study interplanetary magnetic fields, cosmic rays, the solar wind, and the magnetosheath.
