What was needed was an experiment to check out possible violations of physical symmetry in stronger forces...
Earlier models of this Gravity Gradient system used on four other satellites were successful at lower altitudes. But scientists questioned whether far out, where the earth's gravity is weak, the damping devices which kept the satellite from swinging like a pendulum in lower orbits would still be effective. G.E. experts, however, were convinced that their basic system was reliable...
