Explorer 7 was an earth-orbiting satellite that was launched on October 13, 1959, atop a Juno II vehicle and successfully went into orbit. The spacecraft carried an array of instruments designed to study a broad range of radiation from the sun, including X-rays, the intensity of cosmic rays, and the field of charged particles in the ionosphere as well as micrometeorite impacts. It provided data from its instruments for 13 months, during the course of which it sent back readings acquired during a major solar flare.
