The OV1 (Orbiting Vehicle 1) were small research satellite to be launched piggy back on Atlas ICBM test flights. They consisted in general of the OV1 satellite and the OV1-PM propulsion module (or upper stage) to reach orbit.
OV1-5 was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Atlas D | OV1-4 & 5’, on board a Atlas D space rocket.
The launch took place on March 30, 1966, 9:20 a.m. from 576B3.
