definition
  • AIMP-1 (also known as AIMP-D or IMP-D or Explorer 33, NSSDC ID: 66-058A) was launched into a lunar orbit in order to 'anchor' it to the lunar distance from the earth. AIMP-1 was a spin-stabilized spacecraft with spin axis parallel to the ecliptic plane, and spin period varying between 2.2 sec and 3.6 sec. The spacecraft was instrumented for studies of interplanetary plasma, energetic charged particles [electrons, protons and helium ions (alpha particles)], magnetic fields, and solar X-rays at lunar distances. Unfortunately, the spacecraft failed to achieve lunar orbit but did achieve major mission objectives. The initial AIMP-1 apogee occurred at about 16:00 hour local time. Over the first 3-year period, perigee varied between 6 earth radii and 44 earth radii and apogee varied between 70 earth radii and 135 earth radii. The inclination with respect to the equatorial plane of the earth varied between 7 degrees and 60 degrees.
