In a joint NASA-USAF investigation, a Javelin rocket lifted a payload up to 750 miles into space in a successful attempt to begin studies measuring the radiation that surrounds the Earth. Remember, the Van Allen radiation belt was discovered by our first satellite in space, Explorer I, launched on board the Jupiter-C rocket in 1958.
