NetMoonGalaxy - Nasa Missions


Over the years, NASA has launched a series of "Explorer" spacecraft carrying a wide variety of scientific investigations. The list below identifies the 72 successful and 2 unsuccessful launches as of this writing (December 1998). The list identifies the international ID for each spacecraft, its common name (different than "Explorer N" for most), its launch date, and a list of experiments and associated Principal Investigators associated with each. As of this writing, Explorers 50 (IMP 8) and 67-72 (EUVE, SAMPEX, RXTE, FAST, ACE, and SNOE) are still operating. Explorer 73 (TRACE) and Explorer 74 (SWAS) are the latest additions to the series.

A long-lived series of long-lived spacecraft

NASA's Explorer spacecraft series is not simply the longest running series of spacecraft, it has produced highly-durable (i.e., well-engineered) spacecraft as well. The following diagram illustrates this point very clearly. Of the 72 successful Explorer missions, fully five of them have had missions which lasted 10 or more years, the longest of which (IMP 8) has been operational for 25 years now and still produces valuable information about the solar wind. NASA's IUE spacecraft operated for 19 years and produced copious amounts of data for the astronomical community. The ISEE 3/ICE spacecraft operated for 14 years. As of December of 1998, of the nine operational Explorer missions, ACE has operated for one year, FAST for two, RXTE for three, EUVE and SAMPEX for six, and IMP 8 for 25. SNOE, TRACE, and SWAS have each been operational for less than one year, having been launched in late February 1998, early April 1998, and early December 1998, respectively.
