Explorer V II launches to study Earth's ionosphere
A 90 pound spinning top satellite Explorer V II entered orbit from Cape Canaveral to study ionospheric layers that reflect radio signals. NASA officials say the mission could improve cross continental and ship air communications and give the U S an edge over the Soviet Union in space research. The Juno II booster reached orbital speed over 18 000 mph and the satellite stabilizes by spinning.
