Surveyor Lunar Roving Vehicle, phase I. Volume V - System evaluation Final technical report
http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntr..._1966004162.pdf -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

Here's a site that will tell you more about them than you wanted to know. It adds numbers to ALL the satellites officially declared to be Explorers and which made it into orbit -- right up to SWIFT, which is "Explorer 83" -- but I myself stopped seeing numbers attached to them about the time of the Dynamics Explorers (#62 and 63) in 1981. The last failed launch of an Explorer (which thus ended up unnumbered) seems to date all the way back to 1975 -- and the last one before that was in 1964!
