Explorer 23
Explorer 23 (also called S-55C) was the last of three S-55 micrometeoroid satellites launched as part of NASA's Explorers program. Its purpose was to obtain data on the near-earth meteoroid environment, thus providing an accurate estimate of the probability of penetration in spacecraft structures by meteoroids and allowing a more confident definition of the penetration flux-material thickness relation to be derived.
