TABLE OF SPACE VEHICLES LAUNCHED IN 1958-65.

Abstract

All known space vehicles launched before 1 January 1966, which are not close-Earth satellites, are tabulated here. The Table is divided into two sections, under the headings (A) Heliocentric orbits and (B) Geocentric and Selenocentric orbits. Section A is a list of space vehicles which finally orbit round the Sun, while Section B is for space vehicles which remain within the dominance of the gravitational attraction of the Earth-Moon system. This Table of Space Vehicles is complementary to the R.A.E. Table of Artificial Earth Satellites. (Author)
