The OGO (Orbiting Geophysical Observatory) series was a series of large, complex research satellites.

Thor SLV-2A Agena D

Family:
Configuration: SLV-2A Agena D

Thor-Agena was a series of orbital launch vehicles. The rockets used Thor first stages and Agena second stages. They are thus cousins of the more-famous Thor-Deltas, which founded the Delta rocket family.
