A little dinky thing (or several of them) briefly proposed around 1967 to be put into solar orbit for the sole purpose of transmitting dual-frequency radio signals through the solar corona to allow radio-occultation profiles of its structure. Congress quickly squelched funding for it. It would, I believe, have been small enough to be launched into solar orbit by a Scout. I'll look (briefly) to see what else I can find -- all I have up to now is a few brief references from the "Aviation Week" and "Technology Week" issues of that year.
