Orbiting Vehicle or OV, originally designated SATAR (SATellite - Atmospheric Research), comprised five disparate series of standardized American satellites operated by the US Air Force, launched between 1965 and 1971. Forty seven satellites were built, of which forty three were launched and thirty seven reached orbit. With the exception of the OV3 series and OV4-3, they were launched as secondary payloads, using excess space on other missions. This resulted in extremely low launch costs and short proposal-to-orbit times. Typically, OV satellites carried scientific and/or technological experiments, 184 being successfully orbited through the lifespan of the program.

  • Orbiting Vehicle or OV, originally designated SATAR (SATellite - Atmospheric Research), comprised five disparate series of standardized American satellites operated by the US Air Force, launched between 1965 and 1971. Forty seven satellites were built, of which forty three were launched and thirty seven reached orbit. With the exception of the OV3 series and OV4-3, they were launched as secondary payloads, using excess space on other missions. This resulted in extremely low launch costs and short proposal-to-orbit times. Typically, OV satellites carried scientific and/or technological experiments, 184 being successfully orbited through the lifespan of the program. The first OV series, designated OV1, was built by General Dynamics and carried on suborbital Atlas missile tests; the satellites subsequently placed themselves into orbit by means of an Altair-2 kick motor. The Northrop-built OV2 satellites were built using parts left over following the cancellation of the ; three OV2 spacecraft flew on Titan IIIC test flights. Space General built the OV3 satellites, the only series to be launched on dedicated rockets; six were launched on Scout-B rockets between 1966 and 1967. OV4 satellites were launched as part of a test flight for the Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL), with two satellites conducting a communications experiment whilst a third, OV4-3, was the primary payload, a boilerplate mockup of the MOL space station. Two further OV4 satellites, duplicates of the first two, were built but not launched. OV5 satellites were launched as secondary payloads on Titan IIIC rockets as part of the Environmental Research Satellite program. The OV program was phased out in the late 1960s, the last of the series (an OV1) flying in 1971. It was succeeded by the Space Test Program, which focused on tailored satellites with specific payloads rather than standardized ones. (en)
  • Orbiting Vehicle ou OV, à l'origine désignés SATAR, était une série de satellites américains exploités par l'US Air Force, lancés entre 1965 et 1971. Quarante-sept satellites ont été construits, dont quarante-trois ont été lancés et trente-sept ont atteint l'orbite. À l'exception des séries et OV4-3, ils ont été lancés en tant que charges utiles secondaires, en utilisant l'espace excédentaire d'autres missions. Cinq séries distinctes de satellites OV ont été lancées. Les premiers satellites étaient , qui ont été lancés lors de tests de missiles suborbitaux SM-65 Atlas, puis se sont mis en orbite au moyen d’un moteur d'apogée (en). Les satellites ont été construits à l'aide de pièces laissées après l'annulation du satellite Advanced Research Environmental Test Satellite (ARENTS). Trois satellites OV2 ont effectué des vols d’essai sur Titan IIIC. Les satellites étaient les seuls de la série à être lancés par des fusées dédiées. Six ont été lancés sur des fusées Scout-B entre 1966 et 1967. Les satellites ont été lancés dans le cadre d'un vol d'essai pour le Manned Orbital Laboratory, avec deux satellites effectuant une expérience de communication tandis qu'un troisième, OV4-3, était la charge utile principale, une maquette de la station spatiale MOL. Deux autres satellites OV4, identiques aux deux premiers, ont été construits mais n'ont pas été lancés. Les satellites ont été lancés dans le cadre du projet Environmental Research Satellites (ERS), en tant que charges utiles secondaires sur les fusées Titan IIIC. Généralement, les satellites OV emportaient des expériences scientifiques ou technologiques. (fr)
