DODGE (Department of Defense Gravity Experiment) was a satellite whose primary purpose was to conduct experiments in gravity-gradient stabilization at near-geosynchronous altitudes. Its secondary objectives included measuring the Earth’s magnetic field and taking pictures of the entire Earth’s disk in both black-and-white and color. It was launched atop a Titan IIIC rocket on July 1st 1967 and operated for over three years.
