Orbiting Geophysical Observatory Attitude Control Subsystem Design Survey. NASA/ERC Design Criteria Program, Guidance and Control

This design survey summarizes the history of the Orbiting Geophysical Observatories' (OGO) Attitude Control Subsystem (ACS) from the proposal phase through current flight experience. Problems encountered in design, fabrication, test, and on orbit are discussed. It is hoped that the experiences of the OGO program related here will aid future designers.

Geomagnetic survey by the polar-Orbiting Geophysical Observatories.

Summary of reduced data from the polar Orbiting Geophysical Observatories OGO 2 and 4, spanning the time period from Oct. 14, 1965 to the end of 1967. A brief discussion of the accuracy of the observations is followed by a description of the data extent. It is shown that the quantity of data acquired by the OGO magnetometers far exceeds the total for all other magnetic survey sources. Data acquisition for only about a two-week interval gives virtually complete global coverage. Procedures and considerations underlying the data analysis performed are discussed. Suggestions for further work are presented.
