任务简介
探险者24号与探险者25号由同一枚运载火箭送入轨道。探险者24号的配置与先前发射的球型卫星探险者9号和19号相同。该航天器直径3.6米，由铝箔和塑料薄膜交替层构成，表面均匀覆盖5.1厘米的白色圆点用于热控制。其设计目的是通过对球体在轨道上位置的连续观测，获取近地点附近大气密度随空间和时间的变化数据。

Explorer 24 was placed in orbit together with Explorer 25 from a single launch vehicle. Explorer 24 was identical in configuration to the previously launched balloon satellites Explorer 9 and 19. The spacecraft was 3.6 m in diameter, was built of alternating layers of aluminum foil and plastic film, and was covered uniformly with 5.1-cm white dots for thermal control. It was designed to yield atmospheric density near perigee as a function of space and time from sequential observations of the sphere's position in orbit.
