Orbiting Geophysical Observatory (OGO) Program [1] of NASA refers to the six satellites launched by the United States that were in use from September 1964 to 1972, designed to study the Earth's magnetosphere.[2] The satellites successfully studied the interactions between the Earth and the Sun, despite a number of technical problems. Each satellite had 20 to 25 instruments. OGO 1, OGO 3, and OGO 5 were in equatorial orbits; OGO 2, OGO 4, and OGO 6 were in lower polar orbits.[3]
WW2 Cargo Pilot Wilfred "Bill" Scull was the project manager for all 6 OGO projects. His biography is detailed in a 3-book series. WW2 Cargo Pilots series along with many other photos of the projects, including hand-drawn sketches of the satellites.
