An unusual and early octagonal satellite spaceframe of the Initial Defense Satellite Communications System series, l964-68. The eight sided aluminum frame and honeycomb bulkhead measures approximately 36? high, with a diameter at the top and bottom of 12? and an approximate diameter at its widest point in the center measuring 33?. Each panel consists of two triangular parts meeting at a central square panel. Inside of some of the panels and braces bear part numbers. This prototype vehicle retains the launch separation sensors, the rocket and tank propulsion system, and some various wiring and hardware. In fine condition, with minor handling wear and exposure. A rare opportunity to own a rare mid-1960s space vehicle.
