A Pegasus rocket, launched from an L-1011 jetliner flying at 40,000 feet some 100 miles west of Monterey, California, placed a military satellite containing several experiments into orbit on 7 June.

A scanner on the satellite will measure potentially harmful radiation around the planet.--Stephen V Cole
