Abstract: This study discusses two blocks of Ilford G5 emulsions, plus metallic components, that were recovered from the polar orbiting satellites, Discoverer XVII and XVIII. This discussion covers the Class 3+ flare of 12 Nov 1960 in relation to the Discoverer XVII exposure; photographic processing of satellite-exposed emulsions; preliminary cosmic-ray observations on orbited emulsions; and radiochemical analyses of the Discoverer capsules.
