Pegasus 1
NSSDC ID: 1965-009A
Launch Date: 1965-02-16

The mission of this spacecraft was to measure meteoroid abundances over the mass range 1.E-7 to 1.E-4 g in the region near the earth. In its stored position with panels folded inside the Apollo service module, the spacecraft was 5.3-m high, 2.1-m wide, and 28-cm deep. It was divided into two major parts, the central section and the wing assemblies. The satellites' framework was made of riveted aluminum alloy extrusions. The central section was attached to the launch vehicle's second stage. It provided a mounting for the deployment mechanism, electronics cannister, solar power panels, and sensors. The spacecraft was equipped with winglike appendages that extended to form a plane 29.3-m long by 4.3-m wide. These wings carried sensitive penetration surfaces for the meteoroid experiments.

RELEASE: 90-92
NASA, ORBITAL SCIENCES CORPORATION SIGN AGREEMENT
NASA and Orbital Sciences Corporation (OSC), Fairfax, Va., have signed an agreement in support of the firm's Pegasus and Taurus commercial launch vehicle programs.
Terms of the 5-year agreement allow OSC to enter into specific sub-agreements with NASA installations wherein NASA will provide, on a cost-reimbursable basis, access to agency launch support property and services.
As part of a continuing effort to foster a strong U.S. commercial launch vehicle industry, government property and services are made available to the private sector, on a reimbursable basis, when such property/services cannot be provided by commercial sources. Similar NASA "umbrella" agreements have been negotiated with four other firms: General Dynamics, McDonnell Douglas, Martin Marietta and LTV Corp. NASA also is conducting discussions with other U.S. expendable launch vehicle firms for possible support agreements. NASA installations which are involved in specific sub-agreements with companies include the Kennedy, Lewis, Goddard and Marshall Centers.
NASA is committed to facilitating and encouraging the commercial use of space by U.S. firms. The Commercial Space Act and its 1988 amendment, as well as the National Space Policy of November 1989, underscore the importance of government support to the emerging American commercial launch vehicle industry.
