Associated space launch

The NRL Solrad 8 satellite was one of the Solrad series that began in 1960 to provide continuous coverage of solar radiation with a set of standard photometers.

SCOUT X-4 R/B was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Scout X-4 | Solrad 8’, on board a Scout X-4 space rocket.

The launch took place on Nov. 19, 1965, 4:48 a.m. from Launch Area 3A.
