Description : Cap Canaveral post stamp and ATS 4 satellite for transmitting Mexico olympic games.

The second stage of the launch vehicle failed to ignite, and the planned synchronous orbit was not achieved. The spacecraft and its Centaur booster rocket were left attached together in a parking orbit. In spite of an anomalistic attitude, some of the experiments did perform successfully before the satellite and its attached booster reentered the earth’s atmosphere on October 17, 1968. The primary objective of inserting a gravity-gradient-stabilized spacecraft into a geosynchronous orbit was not accomplished.
