  2. Northrop Grumman Pegasus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_Pegasus

    IXPE had been planned to be launched by a Pegasus XL rocket, and had been designed so as to fit within the Pegasus XL rocket constraints. With the IXPE launch removed from the Pegasus XL rocket, there are currently (as of 12 October 2019, after the launch of ICON) no space launch missions announced for the Pegasus XL rocket.

    The first Pegasus launch to use Stargazer was conducted on June 27, 1994, as the maiden flight of the Pegasus-XL. Previous launches used the NASA-operated Boeing B-52 nicknamed "Balls 8," which was also used for four subsequent launches, as the original Pegasus could not be launched from Stargazer due to clearance issues.

    Small missions of the Explorer program offer much flexibility and launch opportunities, and the lessons learned can be applied to the same missions goals, but on a different mission (compare, for instance, Vanguard 1 to Explorer 1). Several years later two new X-ray polarimetry missions won a NASA award to develop X-ray polarimetry missions. [3]
