TABLE OF EARTH SATELLITES, VOLUME I: 1957 TO 1968.
Abstract
All known artificial satellites launched before 1 January 1969 are listed chronologically. Lifetimes, weights, dimensions and orbital details are given for instrumented satellites and their final-stage rockets. Other fragments from satellites are listed without these details. The methods used in compiling the table are described. Several thousand improvements have been made since the previous issue of the table in 1968, but it is hoped that the present volume will not require substantial amendment for several years. Satellites launched after 1 January 1969 will be listed in Volume 2. (Author)
