The satellite measured 2.05 metres in length and weighed 14 kilograms. It orbited Earth at heights of between 360 kilometres and 2520 kilometres until 31 March 1970. It carried a geiger counter,used to detect cosmic rays. Data collected by the satellite led to the discovery of the Van Allen radiation belt,a torus of charged particles held in place by the Earth's magnetic field
