00:00On this day in space. On April 26, 1962, Britain launched its first satellite, Aerial One.
00:08This made the United Kingdom the third country to have a satellite in orbit after the US and
00:12the Soviet Union. But they didn't launch it themselves. Aerial One launched on an American
00:18Thor Delta rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. It was also built at Goddard
00:22Space Flight Center in Maryland. Britain's Science and Engineering Research Council provided all of
00:27the experiments. Five of the six experiments on board studied the relationship between
00:31solar radiation and Earth's ionosphere, and one was dedicated to studying cosmic rays.
00:37Just ten weeks after Aerial One launched, it was damaged by an explosion during a high-altitude
00:41nuclear test conducted by the US military. Its solar panels broke, and it was unable to transmit
00:47any more useful data after that. And that's what happened on this day in space.
00:57So
