Tri-Service Experiments Mission 5
Tri-Service Experiments Mission 5 was a United States Department of Defense technology-demonstration spacecraft carrying the Space Technology Research Vehicle 2 and Compact Environmental Anomaly Sensor experiments. STRV-2 combined imaging, vibration-suppression, and materials investigations, while CEASE measured energetic particles in an elliptical low Earth orbit for spacecraft-environment research.

- Description
- Tri-Service Experiments Mission 5 was a United States Department of Defense technology-demonstration spacecraft carrying the Space Technology Research Vehicle 2 and Compact Environmental Anomaly Sensor experiments. STRV-2 combined imaging, vibration-suppression, and materials investigations, while CEASE measured energetic particles in an elliptical low Earth orbit for spacecraft-environment research.
- Launch Site
- Outcome
- TSX-5 reached its planned orbit and operated well beyond the original six-month-to-one-year experiment period. The CEASE instrument returned radiation-environment measurements through 2006 that were later incorporated into Air Force Research Laboratory space-environment datasets and models.
